Paerata Playground & Splashpad

Paerata Playground and Splashpad on Jonah Lomu Drive is a genuinely well stocked destination playground in the Paerata area of Franklin, South Auckland, opened within the last five years. Water play is the headline draw, joined by a novelty tower with a tubular slide, a standalone slide, a climbing net, tunnels, slalom poles, spring surfboards, and a junior embankment slide.

Equipment

Swings include a basket swing, and the basket swing, junior slide, tunnel, and water play are all rated suitable for toddlers, while the tubular tower and climbing net give older children more of a challenge. Artificial surfacing covers the play zone.

Practical Info

Picnic tables and seating are available, and off street parking is accessible from a carpark off Te Paea Avenue. On hot days the water play makes this one of the better summer stops in the wider Franklin area.
