Hire a disc from the sports store in town for $5 each disk. Good hour plus of fun. Get the Udisc app and you can mark your scores and enjoy the challenge of disc golf. The course was a little wet, but there had been a lot of rain.

having helped plant this more than 50 years ago, it is always on my list. Unfortunately raining spoiled the visit, but good to see some upgrading work done since I was last there.

This contains a number of tracks, through the woods, in outdoor farmland style area, by a pond, by trees. Especially in autumn the reds, oranges, yellows and greens are lovely. I highly recommend this enchanting place.

We had a great afternoon playing disc golf at Ivan Wilson Park. Park is fairly quiet, didn't see many other people even though it was a fine day, and had a really relaxing time. The turnoff to the park is well signposted & there is plenty of parking. Would be a great spot for a picnic if you're looking for a quieter alternative to the lakefront.

This is a really nice quiet place to spend some time if you are in Te Anau, it has lake Henry which had stunning reflactions when I went and is just a generally lovely place to wonder around.

Big park in the centre of a lovely location. Had a lovely stroll round parts of it while on a short stop over and really enjoyed the experience. This is a beautiful park with mature trees and lots to do and see.

This is hidden behind big pine trees along the main road with only one official entrance. There is still traffic noise and the noise of people playing frisbee golf but it's still a nice park of rolling lawns and huge trees plus a nice lake with chairs.

Scenic park right next to the water and lake in Te Anau. Good place to have lunch, bring sandfly repellent.
