Petone Memorial Park is a park on Bracken St, Alicetown, Lower Hutt, with a Google rating of 4.5.
A good local park gives people room to do different things at once: open grass for games, a path for walking or pushing a pram, and somewhere to sit out of the wind. When choosing one, look at shade, drainage and whether it is set back from the road, especially with small children or a dog. Regulars know that parks near Petone and the harbour can be windy, so a spare layer is worth packing, that grass stays soft for a day or two after heavy rain, and that early mornings and weekday afternoons are the quietest times. Where a park has a memorial, a quiet moment and a little care for the site are always appreciated. Bring water and take your rubbish home.
For people in Alicetown, Petone and around Lower Hutt, Petone Memorial Park is a well-rated green space close to home.
