Glendowie Stream

Glendowie Stream, within Churchill Park, is a lovely waterway, flowing underground through the suburb of Glendowie for long sections and surfacing across the southern border of Churchill Park.

After leaving the park it is piped beneath Glendowie Reserve, surfacing again at Roberta Ave and then flowing out into the Tāmaki Estuary.
