Saxton Field Playground

If you’ve got kids who can’t sit still and a partner who wants to kick a ball around, this place ticks both boxes pretty well. The soccer field gets decent use from local clubs, and the club rooms mean there’s usually something organised happening on weekends. Parking is easy, which honestly makes a difference when you’re hauling gear and kids across a carpark. It’s not flashy, but it’s a solid, well-used community spot that families in Nelson keep coming back to.
