Rangitane Park Playground is a large playground within a massive park, so... plenty of open space. There you'll find a well-provisioned playground, with a large metal slide next to it, coupled with an open gym, and sportgrounds. Rubbish bins, water fountain, toilets, shaded seating, nearby trees for cool shade when needed, and on-street free parking. The view from the playground onto the park below is good, too, adding to the feel-well of the experience. If following Palmy's Best Playgrounds' Route, nearby playgrounds are at Raleigh Reserve and at Totaranui Park.
