Nice big field with a decent park. Downfall is there was heaps of rubbish, some alcoholic beverage bottles included and rubbish with remnants of food. Wasn't impressed, especially as I had my 1 year old with me who was trying to pick it up, and my puppy who was trying to eat it. Ruined our time there and makes me less likely to want to return.
Starling Park Playground
201 Waitemata Drive, Ranui, Auckland 0612
Why these ages?
All-ages Ranui reserve with infant + basket swing, multi-play, plus learner skate park and half court for older kids. Reviewer flags glass/alcohol bottle litter that a 1yo was picking up, and another reports a dirt bike riding across the grounds - not the clean low-load environment a toddler parent needs. Big win for tweens and skaters.
Access notes
