Vautier Park is a sports reserve on Puriri Terrace in Roslyn, Palmerston North, with a Google rating of 4.4 from 90 reviews. Reviewers mention the tennis courts and netball, busy afternoons under the lights, and parking that does not always feel safe for children.
A community sports park like this is busiest on weekday afternoons and at weekends, when clubs, players and families arrive together, so arriving a little early helps with parking. Clubs often share courts or fields in turns, and players who want a quieter session usually come before the evening competition starts. Clubhouses at parks like this are often the warmest place to wait between games, so a jacket is worth having on the sidelines. Check the council's booking details before a fixture, as arrangements vary between grounds.
Its Puriri Terrace location, opposite the Palmerston North hospital, makes it an easy stop for a game in Roslyn.
