Great small quite park for 2 - 3 year olds to 7 years.
Northwood Reserve
9 Northwood Avenue, Mahora, Hastings 4120
Why these ages?
Compact medium-sized playground with a summer splash pad (shallow designed water play), infant swings, basket swing, spring toy, rocker and a multi-play with slide. Half basketball court adds interest for tweens. Gazebo over BBQ/picnic, toilets, drinking fountain, off-street parking on quiet residential Northwood Ave. Splash pad and equipment mix hit toddler and primary well; only one review (poor rating) says the park is smaller than the site allows.
What's here
Northwood Reserve in Mahora is a comprehensively equipped medium sized playground, with a splash pad as the summer draw and equipment enough to serve toddlers through to early teens in one visit.
