Sheps’ Park Playground

Locals know this one’s a solid pick for a relaxed afternoon with the family — pack a lunch, grab the kids, and you’re sorted. The picnic tables make it easy to set up properly rather than eating off your lap on the grass. Dogs are welcome here too, which always helps when you’re trying to please everyone in the household. It’s the kind of place you’d recommend to someone who just moved to Blenheim and wants somewhere low-key to spend a Sunday.
