Free destination playground at 98 Bader Drive, Māngere. Zones for under-2s, toddlers, and older kids with flying foxes and climbing hills. Pram-accessible, plenty of parking on site.
We took our son to David Lange Playground and it is now our new favourite!! There’s a great Under 2s area, a toddler zone, and heaps for older kids too like flying foxes, climbing hills, creative play everywhere it’s amazing😍😍 Very clean and well set up. Definitely worth a visit with the kids!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Suits a multi-age family outing — separate zones mean toddlers and older kids each have their own space. Reviewers consistently call out the variety of equipment and the maintenance standard, and the under-2s area is specifically highlighted. Free entry, plenty of parking.
