Dedicated fenced junior area with its own basket swing, infant swing, rotonet and toddler slide sits alongside a main play zone (climbing frame, monkey bars, rotonet, basket swing). Bark surfacing, shade sails, picnic gazebo. Park sits between Cameron Block and Waipoua River so open water is nearby but the play area is inside the reserve away from the street. Half basketball court adds interest for older kids.

    Had the best time in Masterton it was a surprisingly awesome place! Watched a rugby league game at the park which was awesome. The bar was open in the clubhouse and they served us like hundreds of punnets of chips and other things. Awesome.

    We have all the schools in our areas' touch matches here. There is enough parking. The fields are reasonably well marked. Neatly kept grass and reasonable level ground. It is easily accessible and playing fields are away from the street whch makes it safe for younger children.

    Good for dog walking off leash, not many other people around but no bins and people always turn up on bikes and muck up the turf

    A pleasant little surprise. Found while roaming around to combat boredom and will probably return.

    It's not a good place to hang and needs more security
