Nice little park, good for young kids and older kids No shade, toilets or water fountains but playground itself is good
Te Kootii Park
Grandview Heights, Hamilton 3200
Why these ages?
The playground is explicitly pitched at toddlers and young primary age children, with a junior climbing unit, junior slide, infant and basket swings, a seesaw, rocking bowl and spring toys forming a cohesive junior zone. A reviewer confirms it suited their 1.5 year old with lower risk activities. The supernova adds a spinning option for older children but reviews and description skew young overall.
