Nice place for a game of social T20 cricket. A shame about the regular unsavory characters that frequent the area, there was a guy that didn't leave the public toilet for the entire we were there(3hrs) if anyone approched he made vomiting sounds to ward anyone of coming in, he was quite obviously partaking in substances.
What's here
Woolston Park is a compact reserve on Ferry Road next to Te Waka Unua School, built around swings with both an infant and a basket seat, a rotonet and climbing logs, plus a half basketball court, and it's a newer addition to the neighbourhood having opened within the last five years.
