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.
McJorrow Park
10 Colombo Road, Masterton 5810
Why these ages?
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.
Access notes
Description explicitly says the main play area and the fenced junior area are both on a bark surface. No accessible parking, path or transfer feature is described anywhere in the source text.
