    This is a large grassed park serving the local Manly community. There are several access points from Whangaparaoa Road and adjacent side roads. Within the park is a children's playground (which was the purpose of my visit with grandchildren) providing several play activities.

    Playground not child friendly at all, especially if you have disabilities. There is even a piece of equipment not many use as its designed badly. And the steps get very slippery when wet. I don't recommend at all.
