River Loop Reserve and Playground, Foxton

Situated at the site of the town’s old port, the River Loop Playground has a ‘ship’ theme where an old historic port building can still be seen nearby. The Foxton River Loop is an oxbow section of the Manawatu River which has become disconnected from the main river channel. The area is currently undergoing extensive regeneration work. The esplanade area runs alongside the river behind Foxton township with walkways at either end. The River Loop is an interesting spot for anyone interested in history as well as a great place to take the kids.
