Nice modern safe playground with Braille (Braille a system of touch reading and writing for blind persons in which raised dots represent the letters of the alphabet.) being used on the electronic operation of the public toilet.
Bonair playground
Bonair Crescent, Silverdale 0932
Why these ages?
Junior zone under shade sails with basket swing, seesaw, embankment slide and inground mini-trampolines is a solid 2-4yo mix, sitting in a quiet residential cul-de-sac with no adjacent water, arterial road or skate hazards. Climbing net, mound and slalom poles extend the range for primary age. One reviewer thought it thin for under-2s but the 2-4 sweet spot is well served.
What's here
Bonair playground serves the growing Silverdale community north of Auckland from a well equipped reserve, with a climbing net, a climbing mound, and slalom poles for older kids alongside a basket swing, see-saw, and in-built mini-trampolines for toddlers and preschoolers. It's a genuinely broad set-up for a suburban neighbourhood park.
