Children’s Park - Kauri Flats

The playground at Kauri Flats is a compact, well rounded neighbourhood setup tucked into a Takanini pocket park, a short stroll from Castlepoint Avenue in South Auckland, and confirmed as a registered playground in Auckland Council's asset data.

Equipment

A climbing net tower is the standout for older children, paired with a twin slide that keeps the queue moving on busy afternoons. A tunnel connects sections of the play area, and a fire engine seat with steering wheels is a firm favourite for the under fives. A junior swing, a roped basket swing and a roped log swing add character to the swing bay, with a springer for the smallest children.

Practical Info

Two drinking fountains are registered on site. There's no shade at this playground, worth planning around on hot Auckland days, and no public toilets, so it's worth factoring in a stop beforehand. Off street parking near Castlepoint Avenue is limited, and benches and picnic tables are provided for a longer stay. For a bigger day out, Kauri Heart Park a short drive away has a standout butterfly climbing frame and a fully accessible tower.
