Anzac Park sits on Anzac Park Road in Norsewood, in the Tararua district, and earns a solid 4.7 from nine Google reviewers. A good small-town park does a simple job well: flat, mown grass to spread a picnic, a seat in the shade, and room for children to run without traffic worries. Regulars use them for dog walking and the quiet, since country parks rarely fill up. Parks carrying the Anzac name in New Zealand towns are typically where the community gathers on Anzac Day, so they tend to be kept tidy and treated with respect. Travellers on State Highway 2 between Dannevirke and Woodville will find a stop like this the easiest way to stretch their legs — just mind the ground after rain, as country parks drain at their own pace. For a pause in Norsewood, this well-liked patch of green fits the bill neatly.
