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.

    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.

    Fabulous, huge park for the whole family. This park is extensively used by the local community every day. It has a kids playground, learner skate park, basketball court and used by the Ranui, Swanson softball and football clubs. Plenty of room for everyone and huge empty running spaces to bring your dogs.

    Very very good park, have softball training here on Thursdays and then sometimes games there on Saturdays, can be very busy though. Has a basketball court and a skate park. Very good park can be used for softball and soccer. All the turfs are grass besides one which is fake grass.
