About the Park
Horton Park is one of Blenheim’s more functional neighbourhood parks — not a destination playground in the way Pollard or Ballinger are, but with a good mix of play and casual sport facilities that make it a regular stop for nearby families. The playground equipment is classic rather than themed — swings, seesaws and standard climbing pieces — which suits younger children well.
The tennis and netball hoops, plus the cricket pitch on the grass field, mean the park gets used for informal hit-arounds and family games through summer. The two-street access (Redwood and Stephenson) makes it easy to find parking near whichever side you’re using.
