★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ross creek is a great place to take the kids for a walk. It's got a lot of fenced off places where the kids can run around. The walks are beautiful with overhanging trees and plenty of bird life

Options range from a peaceful walk around the gravel circuit beside Road Creek Reservoir to an extended ramble through the network of tracks. The Ross Creek Tracks provide for excellent family and individual walking and jogging opportunities.
There are a number of track loops that can be accomplished (including some suitable for walking with buggies and wheel chairs). You can either enter the track system from Fulton Road, Wakari Road, Burma Road, Tanner Road or Rockside Road at the various gates.
The lower Ross Creek Track also connects with the Water of Leith Walk. The Ross Creek - Woodhaugh Garden walking link was opened during 1999 as part of the Regional Council's Streamscape Plan, which aims to provide access for people close to Dunedin's Waterways.
The reservoir dam and tower were completed in 1867. Built from local stone and 'puddled' clay, the dam is one of very few 19th century dams still in use in New Zealand.
A range of natural vegetation and habitats is passed on the walk. Native bird life, such as wood pigeons, fantails and bellbirds, can be seen and heard while walking on the track. The Ross Creek Track also offers well-marked orienteering opportunities.
