Park Activities
Whether you are 1 or 81, at Whanganui River TOP 10 you won't run out of things to do to entertain yourself!
Playground & Jumping Pillow
Our main adventure playground is growing constantly and great fun, complete with monkey bars, swings, slides, balance beam, climbing net, bouncers, sea saw and more. You'll need to keep coming back to see what gets added next.
Next to this we have our fantastic Jumping Pillow. Young or older, it's hours of fun (and will certainly wear those energetic kids out).
There is a second adventure playground area by the outdoor BBQ behind our Games Room.
Trikes and Bikes
Choose from a sturdy single or double trike on which mum or dad can do the hard work peddling and the little ones can relax and enjoy the ride (or the other way round, depending on who has the most energy).
One and two seater trikes are just $5 to hire for 30 minutes!
For those that want to get out of the park and explore the area, we have a 5 trail bikes in a variety of sizes plus one standard kids bike as well, perfect to get the whole family out on a bike ride. Whanganui has plenty of cycle lanes for you to get around town. Our park is located along the Mountains to Sea Cycle Trail so you are able to ride out to where the river meets the sea or up river to the Upokongaro Cycle bridge. Hire is $30 per bike for 1/2 day (4hrs) and $50 per bike for a full day (8hrs/until reception closes).
Games Room
For young and old alike our indoor games room has something for everyone.
We have one of the most extensive games rooms you will find in a holiday park. There is a pool table, table football, air hockey and plenty of video games machines, plus we have some vending machines for snacks, drinks and ice-creams whilst you play.
Conveniently located close to everything and open all day you can pack the kids off with their gold coins and relax or join them and have a family Table Football tournament.
Table Football and the X-Box are free to play.

Next to the main park you will find a large open field which can be used for any number of ball games. Please ask at reception for our selection of balls available.

If you don't know the rules, just ask us, they're simple and easy to play for all ages.
Kayaks
