Totara Park Adventure Playground

Totara Park Adventure Playground is a bark surfaced play space built around a tubular slide, a rotonet, a multi-play climbing structure, a flying fox, and swings with an infant bay. It sits inside the much larger 216 hectare Totara Park, one of the biggest green spaces in South Auckland.

Equipment

Public toilets, picnic tables, seating, two barbecues and a drinking fountain are all close to the play equipment.

History and Cultural

Te Puhinui, the Puhinui Stream, rises within Totara Park and flows north through South Auckland suburbs to the Manukau Harbour, an ecological corridor the wider park protects.

Practical Info

Off-street parking sits right by the playground. There's no shade directly over the equipment, though trees elsewhere in the park offer some cover, so mornings suit summer visits better. Beyond the playground, the park adds mountain bike tracks, a bridle trail, basketball and tennis courts, and an outdoor pool that opens from November to March next door. The park falls in Auckland's Manurewa area, and a smokefree policy applies throughout.
