Pioneers Park is a Nelson City Council neighbourhood reserve at 10 Washington Road in Washington Valley, central Nelson. The land was filled by the Nelson Board of Works between the 1860s and 1928 and opened in 1929 as Pioneers Park to honour Nelson's early settlers. The playground is fenced with a child-lock gate and includes a small climbing wall, with a drinking fountain, toilets and a big open field alongside for ball games. Best treated as a quiet central-Nelson stop with strong toddler-friendly fencing.

Just an observation: Good area to kick a ball around and kids to play on playground or do some scootering but the play area needs more shade so kids and adults are more protected from sun whilst playing. Do you agree? Give me a 👍🏻 up if you do 😊. …

Listening to kids laughter and native bird calls simultaneously is the most beautiful thing to behold. Honestly this park is a un-hidden gem. If your in Nelson and have a spare minute drop in and you won't be disappointed.

Great wee local park with a good playground.....till you (or your small person) want to use either the water fountain or loo as both seem to be eternally out of order. :(
