Anzac Park Playground
π Inner Kaiti, Gisborne
Best for a relaxed picnic with kids of any age. Anzac Park on the Taruheru River in Inner Kaiti has a playground, a barbecue area, a football field and big oak trees, with waka ama and kayaks passing on the water.
One of our favorite family spots. Under the big trees on a hot day watching the wakas and everything else that might be going on. Today we took Nan and we played cardsππ
π Family Action Verdict
Choose this for a slow afternoon rather than a play workout: the oaks give real shade, the barbecue and picnic areas make lunch easy, and the river keeps children watching. The playground is modest, so bring a ball for the field. The bank is unfenced, so keep toddlers close to the water.

Overview
Anzac Park sits on Heta Road beside the Taruheru River in Inner Kaiti. The council lists a playground, a barbecue area, a picnic area, a football field and a boat ramp, and the setting does the rest: a groomed field, mature oaks for shade and the river a few steps away, where waka ama crews and kayakers train. Families treat it as a picnic spot with a play area rather than a big playground.
