Why these ages?

Play area with junior slide, smaller slide, spinner and supernova suits toddlers-with-assistance and early primary, but skatepark and pumptrack sit close by with no described barrier - scooters and skateboards moving through the space raise cognitive load. Tween-strong via skate/pump/basketball; play equipment itself is compact.

Accessibility
Partial access
+ Step-free path to the play- Bark or wood-chip surface (wheels sink)
Access notes

The park has an accessible entrance helpful for prams and mobility aids, with off street parking right at the park. The play surface is bark rather than rubber or artificial, explicitly noted as harder going for wheelchair and pram users once among the equipment.

Equipment

This Mount Maunganui park is less a single playground and more a community sports hub: a play area sits alongside a skatepark, pumptrack, and basketball court, next to the Arataki Community Centre and steps from Baywave aquatic centre and Bayfair shopping mall.

    Great set up, spacious and easy to find. Great it caters for all needs; dogs, sports teams and children playing on the playground, courts or riding scooters, bikes and skateboards. Love the picnic tables too.

    Nice place close to bayfair, big area for the kids to run around and burn some energy off. Also access to public toilets and a nice good pressured shower open to the public between 9am and 5pm

    Lots of parking and shade. Awesome skate park. Located right next to Baywave and across from Bayfair shopping mall.
