Why these ages?

Sits on Cameron Road, a busy Tauranga arterial, but the play area is set back within the reserve. Infant swing, basket swing, in-ground trampoline, embankment slide (lower risk than tower slide), plus half basketball court and bike path. Reviewer explicitly says 'perfect for my 3 & 2 y/o'. Great toddler zone but parents can't be hands-off with the road nearby.

This place has many great things, eg, swing, slide, single trampoline, basketball court, climbing wall etc. 💙There is a water station to refill your water bottle or drink it directly. 💙No toilet there but Gate Pa shopping mall is just beside, you are welcome to go there and find one of the stores to finish your business. 💙Great spot to have family or friends to play basketball or jumping on the trampoline to fly away. 💙Some picnic tables by the side. 💙Doggy, cat & pet friendly. 💙Car parking by the street, even on the other side.

My kids LOVE this park out of all the ones around- there's a decent half ball court, a grassy area, a play ground, parking from both sides, ample shade over the tables and in general! It is quite small! But for my 3 & 2y/o it's perfect!

Nice little playground with the addition of a basketball hoop and board. Take the little kid's trikes or scooters and footballs as they have a bike path and football goal posts.
