Park in Hamilton

“This journey was a profoundly enriching experience, a symphony of nature's finest offerings. The breathtaking panorama at the summit. Along the ascent, delightful companions in the form of cheerful fantail birds and other feathered friends flitted about, lending their joyful melodies to the journey.”

“Our first time here! Definitely going back soon. Green. Peaceful. Relaxing. There's a gorgeous children's garden with a park and some water features to take a small dip and cool down. Lovely picnic area. Lots to see and great for getting those steps in. Great place!!”

“Lovely little playground with the beautiful temple in the background. I love the symbolic bee theme throughout.”

“Great smooth and wide paths, ideal for skating and scooter Large unmowed areas full of beautiful wildflowers, good for biodiversity”

“One of the best places for cherry blossom viewing in Spring”

“Walk my dog here most days, awesome area for daily exercise, only thing that ruins it, are people ripping up the grass on dirtbikes.”

“This playground is superb, fairly recently refurbished, although some of the equipment is in need of repair, the flying fox used to be a fun double, but looks like it's been decommissioned. There is an in ground bouncy pad that's been boarded up. Still plenty to do though, water play and slides. There is a pump track around the playground, and a full size BMX track next door. There are also some walking tracks around the lake if you feel like a stroll. Watch out for little kids gravitating towards the water. With the water backdrop it's the most picturesque playground in hamilton for sure! We saw a sign to some toilets behind the netball courts, but unsure if they are open to the public.”

“Nature walk located opposite the Hamilton Zoo, A lovely quiet scenic walk with plenty of bird life and a small lake, toilets available”

“Awesome time and greatest time watching the balloons be put up and the kids loved it as well”

“Turf quality was excellent, parking and access was awesome.”

“Brilliant family club! Always welcome!”

“Very attractive family park. It has a walking track lots of open sunny areas as well as shady. Great place to walk your dogs, jog or walk. It also provides clean public toilets.”

“Great playground, the kids had a blast!”

“Such a beautiful and vast treasure right in our backyard”

“Great place to spend time with familiy and friends, plenty for children to do, take their bikes and skate boards. Community Centre events held regularly, so much fun.”

“This is a really sweet little park! I was quite surprised as from the road it doesn't look like much, but it has a lovely park ground and beautiful trees. I was impressed”

“We honestly couldn’t be happier with the care that we get here for our son. He has been there now for over a year and across two of the rooms at the centre (Koru and Tawa). He was at another centre previously and would have an absolute melt down every time he was dropped off. We just thought it was normal, until we started at The Park! I now hardly even get a good bye when dropping him off! All the Kaiako at the centre have been great to deal with. They know his quirks, and greet us by name every time we come in. Special dietary needs (as he was dairy intolerant) are all catered for, and they work to make sure there is good variety and monitor their actual eating, even for this fussy fella! There are activities nearly every day that help develop his motor skills, but also life skills! At just over 2 years-old now, his new favourite activity is to ‘I Cook’ and set up at the kitchen counter every dinner time to help get the family meals sorted. They also have access to a local play ground and large greens behind the facility (hence The Park) that they regularly go on excursions with the kids out in their Centre Sun Hats, and always provide notifications via the facilities app when they are heading out, a much appreciated update. We get some of the most amazing stories about his daily adventures through the app, and my family overseas are all signed up so they can stay up to date with how he is developing. So in summary, their waiting list to get in speaks volumes to the service they provide. Thank you to all of staff that that help care for him every day!”

“Modern and very well maintained motel. Excellent service and a friendly, very helpful staff. Short walk to town and restaurants. Off street parking. Very comfortable bed, good water pressure and good facilities. Highly recommended and no hesitation to stay again.”

“Absolute bliss! This place was so peaceful and the owners were so lovely & accommodating. Would highly recommend & come back if need be. Thank you.”

“Excellent support for parents and children.”

“Wonderful story of Arboretums history. Lovely walk around - about 2 hrs with kids. Plenty art installations to see. Lovely Cafe with cake & ice cream. There's also Ruru Retreat - a cottage on site you can book through booking .com ( recommended).”

“Amazing park for dogs, families or to exercise. Heaps of benches, paths and swings. The park is always full of dogs and it has a lot of natural beaches along the riverside. One of the best dog parks in New Zealand.”

“Great park. Very popular. All sorts and sizes running around.”

“Allows dogs on leads. Has a dog run and walk way to Te Aroha. The park has facilities for water and emptying. Pay online. There is a custodian that frequents and a gentleman that sells homemade condiments. Love it here”

“The biggest and the most interesting skate park suitable every age I have been to in NZ. Awesome! My kids love it!”

“Amazing place to go for a swim and enjoy nature.”

“It is a beautiful lake n easy walk way.”

“walking down to Ann river park, it's a great space for picnics also better to do some up hill training you can go down and feed the ducks some oats. Their is a park bench you can sit on to enjoy the space so good when the sun is out for a spot of lunch. You can just watched the runners go by nice big open space. You get a good view great place to relax. There is a cycling trail it goes on. Please make use of the rubbish bin don't leave your rubbish flying around if you're walking a dog pick up the mess with a dog bag and put in the bin. Hamilton council regularly empty the bin. All the maintenance is done by them on the park bench on the footpath mowing the lawns thank you for giving us such a wonderful area to enjoy. All of the houses along hear keep their gardens in Tip Top shape it looks beautiful really enjoyed all the flowers. So from a local to locals enjoy the space look after it it's a privilege”

“This kids playground would have to be the most interactive kids (and adults) park I have ever seen. We were there for approximately 40 minutes and didn't get to cover everything. This was mainly due to the little 3 y/o was having so much fun with what he had come across. So many activities. No photos to share,,, to busy keeping up with the 3 y/o.”

“Good big park with a skate park, toilets and plenty of shops near by.”
