Te Marua / Boggust Park is a park in Maramarua, Franklin, rated 4.3 on Google. Small country parks like this are usually simple affairs: mown grass, a bench or two, and space rather than facilities, so the trick is to come prepared with water and anything else you need. What a good reserve does offer is quiet — room for a picnic, a dog on a lead, or a leg-stretch in the fresh air. Ground in Franklin can hold water after rain, so footwear worth getting muddy is wise, and in summer shade is at a premium. Tucked into rolling farming country, this little park gives Maramarua a peaceful green space that suits the pace of the district.
