    One of the best playgrounds in Auckland and Hamilton. Different zones for different ages. There's waterplay. There's an awesome zipline, trampolines, unique swings. The best part of it all.... It actually has a useful amount of shade over the kids areas. Also great for wheel chair accessibility.

    Checked out Cloudlands Playground in Hamilton on January 5th while visiting from Auckland—surprisingly chill, not crowded at all. This place blew us away with its awesome design, making us low-key jealous Auckland doesn't have something this cool. Super safe for all ages, plus they've got clean toilets nearby. Tons of swings and slides to keep everyone happy. Cloudlands Playground is basically the dream spot for a family day out – it's all-around perfection for fun times!

    The Magical Bridge Playground is a must visit if you are looking for family fun. An amazing playground with so much to see and do. The water features are very well put together. Parking tight close to the playground but plenty near by if you fancy a short walk through the picturesque park. A++

    Great playground but could really do with more shade over equipment, especially those metal slides and pathetic shade sails and some water fountains would be 10/10. equipment is magical and so many options for kids of all abilities.

    This is the best playground I have been to. It was perfect for our little one who spent about an hour doing all the activities in the park.

    New playground in Hamilton. It does live up to the hype.. quite a lot of activities kids will enjoy. Problem though is not enough parking and a bit too crowded for now.
