Karori Park's playground is a tidy upgrade tucked beside the western suburbs' main sports precinct, built around a junior multi-play structure with a tubular slide tower, an embankment slide worked into the park's slope, a supernova spinner and a flying fox. It suits primary schoolers more than toddlers, though a dedicated corner with an inground trampoline and mini carousel gives younger children their own space.

A small play area just next to the main road...highlight is the flying for which is quite small compared to Brooklyn park but good for much younger kids. Playground next to kids play area is huge and good for many activities

The new more accessible playground is pretty good. My son especially enjoys the Eagle claw swing and the recessed trampoline. Still a bit sparse on shade though, the chosen position of the new shade structure doesn't do much to block the sun after 2pm.

Good little park for the little ones. Has a cover for children when the sun is out so they can carry on playing in the shade. The book box is a brilliant idea also.

This is a sports park. There's a 1km dual track running around it, one track is tarmac and the other gravel/dirt. Within the bounds of the track is a large level grass field for anything you can play on a grass field, though mainly used by football (soccer) and cricket players. There are some exercise stations around the field and a nicely equipped kids playground in a corner, with a cafe just 20m away. Public toilets and a drinking fountain are located near the main entrance. There's a mountain bike area at the back of the park with a range of tracks from beginner upwards. A dairy is located 100m west along the main road and there are some takeaway shops located 200m east (back towards the city). A safe, friendly area for everyone. Even when it's pitch dark, there are sometimes keen people still walking/running around the circular track, especially on warmer evenings.

Our twins age 7 love this park. Nearby fish and chip shop means we sometimes have a sunday dinner there alfresco. Next door is the karori 1km loop and cafe. Safe for kids to run, cycle or scooter around and learn to cycle. They love the gum.machines as you walk around loop too.
