Naenae Park

Why these ages?
Two-zone site with NZ's first fully-fenced neurodiverse playground - genuine let-them-loose enclosure with sensory equipment, spinning wheels, musical gongs, rain sound maker and clear sightlines. Main playground adds climbing module, multi-play, infant/basket/accessibility swings, carousel, junior slide. Purpose-designed for runners and neurodiverse tamariki. No water/road/skate hazards. Tweens have less pull.
Access notes
Description names basket and accessibility swing types among the main playground equipment, a genuine transfer friendly feature, but it does not confirm surface material, a step free path, or a marked accessible parking bay.
