Playgrounds in Wairoa

A wheelchair-accessible swing on stable matting sits inside the fenced junior area at Wairoa Playground, alongside slides, swings, and a flying fox for the bigger crew. Toddlers and school age kids share one site rather than splitting across two, and the equipment itself has no shade, so the picnic tables and covered barbecue nearby are the spot to retreat to once the sun gets high.

Off street parking sits right by the gate, with public toilets on site, making this an easy stop on the Marine Parade run into town. Outside Wairoa the options are thin, so this is the play space almost every family in the district ends up at.
