A very peaceful, tranquil park, ideal for a picnic on a sunny day. Walking around the grounds there are plenty of historical things to look at as this place is steeped in Nelson history. Also there is a small playground for the kids to play in.
Fairfield Park
Nelson South, Nelson 7010
Why these ages?
Description states the playground is 'suited to toddlers and young children looking for a straightforward play stop', with an infant swing, see-saw and climbing frame on bark. Sits inside a quiet 6.2 acre former-cemetery park with a sweeping lawn buffer, no adjacent road/water/skate/height hazards, so parents of a 2-4yo can supervise from the seating without much drama. Very small equipment set limits older primary and tweens.
Access notes
Description explicitly states the play equipment sits on a bark surface, a barrier for wheelchair users, and only on street parking is available with no accessible toilet or access feature mentioned anywhere.
