Tauhara Park
Callum Brae Drive, Queenwood, Hamilton 3210
Why these ages?
Destination adventure playground with exceptional multi-age range: infant swings, you-and-me swings, spring toys, embankment slide, speaking tubes for young ones; Roktopus/tube slides, flying fox, hamster wheel, climbing nets for older. Artificial grass surface. Off-street parking near playground. Stream is elsewhere in wider park, not adjacent to play zone. Excellent for parents of mixed-age families.
Access notes
Description explicitly says a high back swing provides additional postural support for children who need it, a transfer in seat rather than a swing the chair rolls onto, on an artificial grass surface. Disability friendly and accessible toilets are on site, and the inground carousel and speaking tubes suit sensory and mobility needs.
