Prospect Park is a neighbourhood playground and soccer field on the edge of Dunedin North's hill ridge, with views across the Leith Valley below. The play equipment is aimed at younger children, with swings that include an infant seat, an overhead ladder and a see saw on artificial surfacing, set beside the grass playing field that Northern AFC uses as its home ground. On-street parking is available on Lachlan Avenue, and the Dunedin Botanic Garden and University of Otago campus are both a short drive away for a longer outing.

Good location for a soccer game. Does get very very muddy in winter and can be quite exposed to the wind.

Would have been a lovely place to rest today but spent time clearing takeaway debris thrown by lazy buggers from their cars.

Not a great place for teenagers to hook up, but a great place to take the youngsters to play on the swings
