We like this playground. It provides confidence and stretches our grandchilds ability. It's handy for parking, toilets very handy. It's a sunny spot. Seating is available. Sports grounds next door. Good area for small children to play on equipment and large area for kicking a ball or running around

“The cable car museum is very interesting and would be a great addition for Dunedin when the cable cars are up and running on high street. I wish them all the best in getting this project done.”
