What's here
Buckland Road Playground opened in Tuakau in October 2024, next to Tuakau College, with an inclusive equipment mix that punches above the weight of a typical small-town reserve. Equipment includes an inground carousel, inground trampolines, swings including a basket swing and infant swing, a multi-play structure with tubular slide and interactive panels, all on an artificial surface.
