Wow! I’ve never seen such an incredible road side park. And it’s FREE!! I thought I’d see a giant carrot statue and that’s it. So wrong! Loads of kid (and adult) friendly activities, short and longer paths, benches along the river, and clean restrooms. Everything is in great condition. This is a MUST STOP interaction attraction. Well done, Ohakune!

Ohakune Carrot Mennesson Adventure Park
4a Rangataua Road, Ohakune 4625
Why these ages?
Sprawling adventure park with pirate ship, 5.3m Carrot Rocket, two flying foxes, pump track, endurance course - excellent for primary+tween ages. A small river winds through and reviewers describe kids paddling/damming it. Flat paved 1km loop is pram-friendly but wide-open with no fencing between play zones and creek. Toddler kit is basic swings only.
Access notes
The description says the park is flat and paved throughout with mobility aid access, and a review confirms parking and wheelchair access to all parts of the park and walking tracks.

Equipment
Ohakune Carrot Mennesson Adventure Park is anchored by a 5.3 metre fibreglass Carrot Rocket and a climbable pirate ship built from a real ship's lifeboat, a playground built for photos as much as play. Equipment suits a wide age range, from toddlers on the swings to older kids on the endurance course and pump track, and the flat, paved layout suits a pram or wheelchair covering the loop in one go.
