Overview

Walter Park in Mairehau is a large neighbourhood reserve with a playground at its centre and open grass areas surrounding it. A stream runs along one side, and mature trees provide shaded spots across the grounds. The open layout gives children space to ride bikes, kick footballs, and move freely beyond the play equipment. The park is broad and flat, suited to mixed-age groups wanting both structured play and open recreation.
