Why these ages?

Explicit 'gated under-4 area' with mini road system, plus a dedicated preschool zone with mini slides and wobbly bridge - designed for toddler let-them-loose within the enclosure. Two full obstacle courses (monkey bars, flying fox, rock climbing, chain bridge) cover child and tween. Beach across Awapuni Road and an on-site pond are real hazards but the toddler zone's fencing mitigates them for the youngest.

Accessibility

Wheelchair accessible

+ Wheelchair swing (roll-on, Liberty Swing style)+ Step-free path to the play

Access notes

Description explicitly names a Liberty Swing giving wheelchair users access to the play equipment, plus hard surface paths between zones built specifically for wheelchairs and buggies to move around the site.

Took the mokos, and they loved it. Really enjoyed the train ride they were buzzing out. There's a need for more playgrounds for toddlers and swings as well. Lots for the primary school-aged kids and older but really only one for under 5s.

Really good space to bring your kids and pets, right across the road from the beach. Just make sure your children are supervised at all times, especially around the pond, and just becareful of the main road, especially if you have young children.

Could do with a massive overhaul, some structures look like they were built in the 70s. Maybe include the kids bike park into it more, add more shade, picnic tables & water features, the current design lacks flow & thought
