1 / 3Fernwood Place Playground
đ Wai O Taiki Bay, Auckland
Fenced playground in Wai O Taiki Bay with large climbing equipment best suited to children aged 5 and older. Backs onto a wide grass area open to dogs. Pram accessible.
Always empty, and plenty of room beside the park to throw balls for dogs etc

Reviewers describe a quiet playground with plenty of equipment pieces. One parent highlighted the fenced layout and large climbing structures as working well for children 5 and over. Another praised the renovated equipment. The adjacent grass area earns praise from families with dogs who enjoy running the space alongside children's play.

âLarge fenced playground with plenty of different pieces. I'd say it's best for older children (5yrs+) as the climbing equipment is rather large. Two bench seats. Loses a star for no shade and no toilets. Backs on to a large grass area for dogs.â
