Why these ages?

Dedicated fenced junior play area with infant swing, basket swing, in-ground carousel and junior slide - explicitly separated from busier main zone. Reviews confirm 'fully fenced children's playground'. Splash pad and adjacent skatepark are risks but junior area is fenced away. Shade sails over junior equipment. Excellent for parent hovering-free toddler time.

Access notes

The description explicitly names mobility spaces in the off street car park and describes the main play area surface as artificial. A photo signal also shows poured rubber surfacing on 4 images, though no step free path or transfer station is described in the text.

So many fun things to do at the park now. Partly sheltered with a sunshade. Skate park and water play area. Large climbing frame and slide. The larger park area contains walking tracks, gym stations and disc golf. There is also a basketball court for hours of fun.

I've seen a lot of people, families, kids enjoying small water fountain. Good for walk, biking even motor run here. Has 2 public toilets, you can find wild duck roaming in the middle of the park. Volleyball, Cricket and any outdoor sports. Seen some gym machines with instructions you use free.

A beautiful park to visit and wander. Highly recommended for families, single and couples alike. The downside is that when I visited, some people are playing freebie and they were a bit annoying.

Great playground for the kids and nice place to walk. New skate park is awesome. Kai Cuppa Waka is set up permanently for your caffeine needs while you sit and watch the kids enjoy the park.

A truly beautiful park. Home of Paharakeke Flaxmere parkrun. Flaxmere has been voted as the most active park in New Zealand. This park is flat, great for running 😀, has a 9 hole Frisbee Golf course, a Ki o Rahi - Tanga Tākaro ( Traditional Māori game) and a lovely fully fenced children's playground. …
