Reviews of Munro Martin Parklands
Henry Morrow
Cat empire played 2025 Great venue with plenty of space to chill or dance The landscaping is top notch. The entrance has good amount of space to comfortably and quickly enter and exit, with side gates that open on exit. Toilet were only issue, line ups were confusing and took ages because the portaloos were squeezed into the back with half of what was needed.

I enjoyed a walk there in the afternoon, because it was relaxing and interesting, with some birds and a squirrel-like animal (I don't know the name).
Alanna Rosendahl

Very nice park! Can visit during the day to relax and unwind. This park is also used for live events. There is a Viewing Platform for wheelchairs to make it easy to see any action. There are plenty of toilets located behind the seating areas. There are multiple filtered water fill up points for water bottles. Lush gardens and beautiful scenery. Located in nearly the heart of the city makes it easy...

Nice park with open areas and shaded too - good for concerts with nice night time ambience Only issue is that I just walked through it and got hassled by some dishevelled rough sleepers which wasn't a comfortable experience so just need to keep an eye out
