Wembley Park is a sports park at 15 Wilkie Street, Whanganui East, rated 4.3 from 174 Google reviews. Reviewers describe spacious grounds with plenty of parking, spectator areas with good views of several fields and trees that act as a shelter belt, and mention football, tournaments, a soccer field and a new stand. Some also use it to walk dogs, though one raised concerns about spraying on the grounds.
A good sports park gives teams level, well-drained fields, clear markings, changing space and room for supporters, and gives other visitors safe paths, parking and shelter. On match days, arrive early to find parking and a good spot on the sideline, bring a chair, a hat and water, and dress in layers, since open fields can be windy. Dog walkers should check the signs on where dogs are allowed and keep to quiet times, and anyone using the park should watch for council notices about spraying or field closures. Tournament weekends are busy, so check the local club's fixtures before you plan a walk.
For Whanganui East families, football teams and dog walkers, it is a roomy local park for sport and fresh air.
