Besley Park in Acacia Bay, Taupo, New Zealand is an amazing place for families to visit. The park has a variety of features that make it an ideal spot for a day out. The tennis court is perfect for those who love to play the sport, and there are also two children's playgrounds, one of which is smaller for younger children. The basketball hoop is another great addition for those who love to shoot hoops, and the soccer goals are perfect for those who enjoy kicking a ball around.

It's an awesome place for kids to play, and there are plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. The park is close to Lake Taupo, which makes it an ideal spot for a day out.

Besley Park is a Taupo District Council reserve in Acacia Bay, about 10 minutes from Taupo town across the lakes western side. The 2016 playground rebuild centres on a big wooden pirate ship to climb, crawl through, and slide off, with tunnels, swings, climbing structures, and shade trees around the edges, plus tennis courts, outdoor fitness equipment, a petanque court, and the Acacia Bay Community Hall across the road. Well-regarded by Taupo families and a fun pirate-themed stop on the way to or from the lake. A community park rather than a destination playground.
