A good stairway park is judged on the state of its steps and handrails, and on the view from the top. Steep stairs are best tackled in sensible shoes at a steady pace, especially after rain. Many walkers choose a clear morning for the climb, when the view across the city is at its best. When you visit, check the handrails and the surface before you start, and bring water for the way back down.
For a steady climb with a view over Palmerston North, this Vaucluse Heights park is a rewarding place to visit.
