Water park in Napier

“We were very unfortunate because our Alpine Crossing was cancelled due to strong and dangerous winds, but we alternatively did Tama Lakes track! Even the Tama Lakes track was out of this world so I couldn’t imagine, what Alpine Crossing would be!”

“Great extension to the existing park. Plenty of adventure and creativity equipment to entertain and keep the kids happy for hours. Also a central water feature to help cool down on those hot summers days. Plenty of areas to climb and swing with a junior and senior play area. Also, caters for some children activities for spacially challenged children. This means younger children can play more freely without getting hurt. Come and let the kids explore. New toilets have been added close to the park.”

“It’s such a beautiful park and an amazing community resource. Brilliant for dogs with a huge off lease area and free poo-bags. So many lovely mature trees for shade, and if you have kids there’s an excellent playground. Top spot”

“What a lovely park. Its quite large so plenty of room to throw a ball for your fur baby and not worry about neighbour's. Nice little stream running through it. Great for letting dogs off lead.”

“One of the best playgrounds in NZ, splash pad, great slides and climbing structures, variety of swings and lots for even little kids to do as well. Our kids from 2 - 12 could have spent the whole day here”

“It a bit different playground Nice area for picnic and to walk around”

“Stunning. We just happen to stumble across this beautiful bit of history on our E bikes. I'd highly recommend going out of your way to visit.”

“Excellent communication and explanation of product. Efficient and timely installation. Very friendly and excellent follow up! We’re very impressed with the service. Thanks Cloud Water!”

“A very small little model railroad tucked up in the hills. Nice for Kids to see how steam engines work, even if they are 1/100 scale. Amazingly a one horsepower steam engine can pull a bunch of carriages with some very large people of size on them.”

“The new park (post cyclone Gabrielle) opens April 6th 2024 and is accessed via Waipunga road, off SH5 Esk Valley. Turn into Waipunga road, cross the bridge then turn right into the first forestry road, and follow this to the carpark. No tracks remain in the Mill Block off SH2.”

“Great place to go with family and a picnic. Some play equipment, toilets tables and loads of grass to play games. Even a river to dip ya feet into”

“Very friendly reception on entry, we booked in for the newly built cabin room. Only $60 a night, the cabin is brand new with big screen flat TV, fridge, kettle, toaster and portable fan. The room is not massive but you get space back on the front deck. The share toilets, bathroom and kitchen are all new and modern. The owners seem keen to make constant improvements. Would recommend to friends.”

“Very nice park and also a very good rose garden in the park.”

“Excellent layout of the whole Park Island district at the current time. Though could go even better. How do I know this? Easy My family used to Mix farm the area with Pigs and cows from the late 50's till 1980. I grew up in this area and know the wildlife and terrain plus the history, even bfore the 1931 earthquake.”

“Beautiful location. Our little family enjoyed spending time here. The weather turned a bit towards end of our trip so we decided to stay in a cabin for one night. The cabin was clean & cosy. The owners very accommodating & lovely. Thank you for your warm hospitality!”

“Awesome place for families to enjoy”

“So many fun things to do at the park now. Partly sheltered with a sunshade. Skate park and water play area. Large climbing frame and slide. The larger park area contains walking tracks, gym stations and disc golf. There is also a basketball court for hours of fun.”

“Watching the children take part in the Mitre 10 Tough Kids Challenge and what a great venue. Plenty of seating in the grandstand and facilities were clean and tidy.”

“Brilliant. We hired bikes and zoomed along the water front. Totally loved it.”

“Nothing better than hanging out at the swings with a group of friends at lunch. The playground is fairly well equipped, and the pond next to the library is lovely, featuring large trees and some ducks. As for the main field itself, it's well maintained, and a decent size. Perfect for a variety of sports, or a nice picnic.”

“Good sports park with BMX track at the back of it”

“Fantastic spot to park motorhome.. Dump stations and fresh water, toilets as well. Very central with amazing views.”

“Swam swum and slid dove and I just got half wet didn't want to bust any bombs.”

“Karen is amazing and Ed's Cafe is now open and what a spot to sit and enjoy the vibes and the view, A real community hun”

“Every kid in newzealand should have the opportunity to com here in the summer”

“Stayed one night. Clean tidy room. Only issue is the walls/doors arent very sound proof. Could hear the neighbour's talking outside in their car which was parked right outside my door. They weren't talking very loud but could still hear them.”

“It's an amazing place to rest, reflect and relax”

“Stayed in Napier great places to park offering huge showers, very clean park very friendly staff.well equiped kitchen. We only stayed overnight but would recommend staying there. Traveling in camper.”

“Chicken was crispy and juicy as hell, very flavourful and the chips were well seasoned. 10/10”
