Parks and reserves

Take a walk in semi-rural Palmerston North, enjoy the fresh air and the sights.

Ahimate Reserve in Awapuni is home to Palmy's first dog agility park.

Awesome open space to run around with your mates or the kids.

This clifftop park has great views across the city as well as a walking track.

Apollo Park which lies in the heart of Milson is also commonly known as Butterfly Park.

Arapuke Forest Park is part of the Kahuterawa Outdoor Recreational Area. It's a great outdoor activity area within Palmerston North.

Ashhurst Domain is nature's playground, right on our doorstep.

As well as being a great park to take the kids to play, it has a panoramic outlook across Massey farmland up to the Tararua Ranges.

Come play tennis with the kids, visit the playground, or just relax in the sun.

Awatea Reserve is a pleasant green space which changes colour dramatically with the seasons.
