A grass field, circled by a gravel walking track, surrounded by border trees. Some sort of mixed adventure balancing logs arrangement Carpark and clean modern toilet. Some bench seats. Probably a bit spartan overall. Nothing to make the circular walk interesting , so go with a friend to chat.
Sheps' Park Playground
Sheps' Park, Severne Street, Yelverton, Blenheim 7201
Access notes
The balance log play area sits on a bark surface per the description, a hard barrier for wheelchair users, and reviews note the surrounding gravel track can get muddy after heavy rain. Off street parking is available, but no accessible toilet or firm path is described.
What's here
Sheps' Park in Yelverton, Blenheim is a natural reserve built around a series of native timber balance logs rather than manufactured play equipment, giving children a climbing and balancing course to explore instead of a standard structure. The QEII National Trust owns the land, with Marlborough District Council managing it day to day.
