Margaret Mahy Family Playground (couple trip)

Impressive creation! This huge playground off Manchester Street is amazing. There are dozens of things to swing and climb up. My kids favourite is the double flying fox, because they can race each other. There are food outlets BBQs and toilets too.

An incredible playground for kids big and small! While it can get quite busy, the kids always have a blast and find lots of new friends. On warm days the water play and sand are a big hit, during the winter the climbing tower and slide are the best. And the flying fox is amazing year round!

What a great playground! So many fun and interesting objects to interact with. Great slides, including a three story spiral tube slide. There’s also a fun waterpark area where kids can pump water and manipulate where it goes. A great place for kids to have fun and explore physics.

The playground has many attractions like slides, swings, a sandpit, and a lot of toys to develop new skills like climbing, balance and others. It also has a water play area that's amazing! I really recommend it!

No wonder it has such a high rating—4.8! A must-visit place for families with young kids. My children, aged 10 and 8, loved this place, and we ended up spending two hours here. We were tourists and stayed in New Zealand for three weeks, and this was the best park we visited. There were clean toilets and a few vendors selling snacks and drinks.
