★★★★★Featured review by A K

Love this small playground for old and young! There is half basketball court. Swings and other play facilities are small children. There is also a baby swing which can’t be seen elsewhere. There is no toilet here. There is a rubbish bin.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Locals value this reserve for its enclosed layout and the baby swing, which reviewers specifically call out as rare in the area. The half basketball court extends the visit for older siblings. One long-term local describes it as "handy to the locals and kidsafe" — a solid neighbourhood option for families in Orakei.

Park is nice, but often lots of litter everywhere and the playground is generally in a state of average maintenance 🤔
