West End Park Playground

Right in the middle of West End, this park playground is one of those spots locals actually use rather than just drive past. It’s got a proper community feel to it — the kind of place where you’ll see families from the neighbourhood just turning up on a weekday afternoon. Accessibility is taken seriously here, which makes a real difference if you’re bringing kids with different needs along. Timaru doesn’t always get credit for its green spaces, but this one’s worth knowing about.
