★★★★★Featured review by deb zeb

The slide that many generation's have swooshed down. So popular they kept the actual slide and did up the ladder. There is good equiptment for disabled play. Lots of climbing. A small basketball court. A good fenced and gated area for toddlers. People of all ages can try something. Cafe over the road and fish and chips near by too. Also an awesome place to picnic. There is a free barbeque. Catch the super frequent no1 bus to get there. The sea over the road is a fab attraction too and if you can drag your kid away its a nice stroll on the sand or either way along the shorefront.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

This is an excellent choice for families with children of all ages, offering a perfect blend of playground fun and beachside location. The historic slide is clearly the star attraction, while good accessibility features and nearby amenities make it convenient for extended visits. Best suited for families who enjoy outdoor activities and don't mind the travel to Island Bay.
