This park is conveniently located near to our place. So my kids love to play in here. If you want to play tennis 🎾 or basketball 🏀, there's a court for it too. Next to it is the rugby club building. …

Great park for running round with the kids, amazing views over the city and a good playground. The park is in use with team sports at the weekend sometimes and also very popular with dog walkers, though the owners are generally very considerate

Good ground, can sometimes be a bit muddy though. A few things around for the kids to play on. Alhambra Union clubrooms are also on this park.

Always space available. Dog walking is my main motivation. Other dog owners always a pleasure.

Well maintained sports ground though the playing fields slope(!) Good swings and slides for young kids sheltered from the sun.

One of Dunedin's fine sport/recreation facilities. We are lucky to have inherited so many sports fields.

Rugby grounds park. Great to watch cricket or rugby, go for a walk, or visit the Botanical gardens and aviary across the road.
