Great reserve at the heart of busy Mt Eden. The playground is a bit small but worth it.
Essex Reserve
3 Ngauruhoe Street, Mount Eden, Auckland 1024
Why these ages?
The ship shaped rope net, triple swing set with infant seat, and log see saw are described as suited to a range of ages. A reviewer notes the reserve sits a stone throw from busy Mount Eden Road, and no fencing is mentioned in the source.
