Why these ages?

Explicit under-5s specialist: infant swing, junior slide, embankment slide, small fort, see-saw, solo spinner. Reviews: 'ideal for my 1.5yr son', 'playground is back a bit from the road so I don't need to stress'. Surrounded by side roads, low-traffic setting, concrete path suits balance bikes. Basic kit means older kids get bored quickly.

O'Connor Drive Playground is a medium-sized neighbourhood playground in Pukekohe, built around a swing set with an infant seat, an embankment slide, a small fort structure, a see-saw, a solo spinner and a novelty animal statue. A junior slide adds a second toddler-friendly option, and a large grassy area beside the equipment gives older children room to run, making the site workable across a wide age range from infants through to early primary schoolers.

I love it cause the playground is ideal for my 1.5yr son. Also has large grass areas with a rugby post and is Dog friendly. Very well maintained. Plenty of trees on a hot day and sunny areas if you'd prefer. Road is not busy and playground is back a bit from the road so I don't need to stress about my son and the road.

A great park. Has good trees to provide shade next to the play ground and is ideal for coffee groups or a picnic on the ground. The trees don’t shade any of the equipment so If it’s sunny bring a hat for little people. It is surrounded by side roads so a little safer and quieter than lots of other parks in Pukekohe. It has a concrete path running through it ideal for kids learning to bike or scooter. There is one baby swing and one big swing along with see-saw, spiral spinning pole, slide, wooden seats and post to balance around and a wooden climbing frame. Large open field with rugby goal posts provide an option for older kids.
