Hidden amongst the rolling hills of Upper Hutt lies Clouston Park. This is a place shaped by history. It’s a place of community. It’s a place where families have played for decades.
Clouston Park wasn’t always the vibrant suburb it is today. Developed primarily in the 1970s and 1980s it quickly became a popular residential area. The park itself holds a quieter story. Imagine the quiet development of homes. Picture the slow growth of families settling into their new lives.
Today Clouston Park boasts not one but three public parks. Doris Nicholson Park is a green haven. Benge Park offers a small playground a perfect spot for children to play. Then there’s Maoribank Park a larger space home to a sports field. Local sports teams use this on weekends. The Rimutaka Rugby Football Club even calls it home. This is more than just a park. It is the heart of the community.
The park itself reflects the growth of the whole suburb. Imagine the children playing. They run through the grass. Their laughter echoes across the open fields. This is the spirit of Clouston Park. This spirit lives on.
Clouston Park has a vibrant community. Its population is around 2400 people. The demographics are diverse showing a blend of ethnicities and ages. This diversity is reflected in the makeup of the community and the life that unfolds within the park.
