Robert Park is a suburban park on Parnell Heights Drive in Kelvin Grove, Palmerston North, listed among Palmerston North City Council's parks and reserves. It holds a 3.0 rating on Google from a single review.
Neighbourhood reserves do the quiet work of a suburb: a grassed space for a kickabout, a shady bench, somewhere for the dog and the kids to run off steam. Facilities vary enormously from park to park, and a small reserve may be little more than open lawn and a few mature trees, so it pays to check the council's parks pages before promising anyone a playground or toilets. Dog rules are set reserve by reserve under council bylaws, and the signage at the gate is the reliable guide.
For Kelvin Grove residents, Robert Park puts a patch of open green within easy reach on Parnell Heights Drive.
