    Beautiful grassed area, catches the sun in winter and a few great playground options for all ages.

    Can't really speak to the quality of the playground, I just parked my bike there to go for a walk to the radome.

    A little hidden gem. Kaka and other native birds fly over this park from Zealandia. Large grass area, picnic table, Swings, slide, climbing racks and "The muscle buster" a fantastic place for a quiet picnic or stop whilst climbing up using Clinical MTB track

    Lovely little park! Could do with some public toilets though - and a few less people doing burnouts on the grass

    Great Park for kids. Watch the matting on a sunny day as it gets hot.
