Bledisloe Park is one of Franklin’s premier sports and recreation parks. Located in the heart of Pukekohe, the park provides formal sports facilities for cricket, soccer and netball. Jubilee Pool, a 50m outdoor pool is also located on the park. The park includes a grove of Totara trees that are a significant landscape feature of Pukekohe, and add to the great atmosphere of the park. The playground on Bledisloe Park is one of Franklin’s best, and has recently been extended (August 2009).

From time to time, Bledisloe Park is used for events such as Franklin’s large Christmas festival, Children’s Day celebrations and multi-cultural sports days.

The Bledisloe Park Reserve Management Plan covers the day-to-day management of the park as well as plans for future development (to take place over the next 10 years). The Plan can be read or downloaded here.
