Picnics and Parties


The Halswell Domain is an ideal place for a family picnic and some people use it for birthday parties and the like.  We welcome that.
 
There are picnic tables in the Domain and these are free for any members of the public to use.  Please note that, being in a Council Domain, we cannot reserve them for you however there are also plenty of grassed areas.  There are Council toilets and a children's adventure playground close by, and often radio controlled model boats sail on the boating pond.
 
You are welcome to visit the Domain anytime, but trains only run from 1pm Sundays.  There are usually train staff in our area from 12:00 noon onwards.
 

Charity events for special groups are held from time to time.  Contact us for more details.  Club members are willing to donate their time and show their models.
