    A great place to play! Have a swing, a race down the double slide or follow the obstacle course around from the fort. There's seating for parents and a water fountain too!

    Watched my son's football game at Endeavour Park. There had been rain the previous day, the drainage on the grounds was really good, so grounds were not muddy and easy to walk on. Excellent park. Club rooms were open but we didn't visit there.

    Best grass sports pitches in Wellington. Cricket nets need an upgrade and play area could do with being made bigger. Temporary access via Samwell Drive, see the council have stuffed up the car park, again.

    Great football fields, if they could be moved away from the creek a bit more would be wonderful.

    Very Nice park, and the Soccer field offers a nice open space for kiddies to run off all that extra energy.
