A great medium size park/playground with good fun for probably 4+ year olds, some play stuff that doubles as some exercise equipment if you’re into that sort of thing and a wide open space for whatever sportsball game you want to play. Not to mention, the deer over behind the fence.

Peat Park is one of Whanganui's oldest neighbourhood reserves, on the corner of Peat and Halswell Streets next to Cullinane College, with a heritage Art Deco entrance. The playground has separate areas for toddlers (swings and bug-shaped seesaw) and older children (massive climbing frame, obstacle course and slide), set among mature oak trees with picnic areas, fencing, shade and toilets; a small deer sanctuary at the foot of the hill is a popular feature.

Typical New Zealand sports field that just happens to have a park with deer in it next to it. Deer will come to the fence for a bunch of fresh grass but then disappear. They're not really friendly.
