The name of this park has changed its from Red Beech Avenue Play to Tawhai Raunui Play Area. Nice turf and a good range of equipment. Windy up here and the turf does stay quite wet. There's a towel there to wipe the slides which is great. Otherwise you'll need to pack one. Great big slide. The younger ones can get quite a bit of speed and do land on the ground sometimes to be ready to catch them if you need to.
