Nice park with a stunning view. 2 year old had fun on the slide & swing, but not a lot else for the little ones. Looks good for older kids. Would be primo for a picnic on a nice day. Really big green space next to it for doggos to run around too

Practical Info
Good to know
HistorySilverwood Playground (also referred to as Silverwood Park) is located on Endeavour Drive in the Whitby suburb of Porirua. Whitby was comprehensively planned in the 1960s and developed around a nautical street-naming theme drawn from the life and career of Pacific explorer James Cook , the suburb's name, and street names such as Endeavour Drive, reference Cook's voyages. The NZ Institution of Engineers gave the Whitby development their 1978 Environmental Award for care and consideration of environmental values.
