    Good small venue to take kids...but not in school sports hours...that's the only time its REALLY busy lol It has public toilets open til later at night..which is helpful for people commuting between Wellington, Levin, Shannon, Fielding, Paraparam, Waikanae etc to Palmy everyday or camping in campervans nearby...especially if you need to change your clothing.. Great little playground area. Two huge as fields to kick the ball with family or mates.. Pretty close by n choice..

    Kids enjoyed the playground and swings, which is actually pretty old whole older ones played on the basketball court. There was broken glass on the pathway and my 6yr old cut her foot slightly.

    we enjoy a particular sandwich mix that we can get from any Subway store so the only issue is location and for me this stores location is terrible making it heavily reliant on foot traffic as parking is very limited

    Not a lot of parking. So be aware if you're coming for sports fixtures. As the walk along the road will not help if you're in a hurry
