Kaimanawa Park is a neighbourhood park with a playground at 92 Kaimanawa Street in Kelvin Grove, Palmerston North, rated 4.3 from 12 Google reviews. It has swings, a slide and a basketball hoop, and the Palmerston North City Council website names the park. Reviewers describe the playground as new, though one found it a little underwhelming. One said a baby swing seat has only a chain, so a small child can slip out. Another mentioned that the community hall nearby has limited parking, which is on the street. Opening hours and booking do not apply, as it is a public park.
A neighbourhood playground is best checked before use, especially the swing seats and any chains that could let a small child slip out. Parents of toddlers should stay close to the swings. Street parking near a hall can be tight, so arrive early for an event and allow time to walk in. Children often enjoy watching the traffic nearby, so keep them back from the road.
Kaimanawa Park suits Kelvin Grove families who want a new neighbourhood playground close to home.
