Parks and Reserves

Parks and reserves administered by the Nelson City Council are available for events and weddings. Please be sure to book your event well in advance to allow sufficient time for the application to be processed.

Available parks

While any park can be booked, the most popular parks are Isel Park, Broadgreen (particularly when the roses are out) Queens Gardens, Miyazu Gardens and Fairfield Park.

Please note that due to space constraints the Huanshi Chinese Gardens cannot be used for large wedding parties (over 30 wedding guests). Areas for congregating are also limited within Miyazu Gardens, although the expansive areas of lawn just outside the gardens can accommodate very large wedding parties.

Cost

The Council charge a non-refundable booking fee. Please see the Nelson City Council website for a list of fees and charges.
