What's here
Arawa Crescent Playground sits within Lake Moananui Reserve in Tokoroa, one of the town's most popular outdoor spots, with an eagles nest swing, a supernova climbing dome, a boat shaped climber, and a fitness cube alongside more familiar swings, a basket swing, and a bowl rocker. The equipment variety and lakeside setting make it worth a longer visit rather than a quick stop.
