1 / 3Pohe Island Destination Playground
π Parihaka, Northland
Pohe Island Destination Playground in Whangarei has climbing towers, slides, a zip line, sand pit, and water play. Wheelchair and pram-accessible paths and swings are throughout, and a BMX pump track sits alongside.
Finally made it down to this fantastic park. It has something for every age and even has some wheelchair and pram-accessible paths, swings and children's games. They can climb high or low and push themselves. Everyone was having fun. Also has accessible toilets and drinking fountains with loads of parking. If you have more time you can pop down to the Camera Obscura or walk along the path right around the loop. This can be a destination in itself or a stop-off on a walk around the basin.
π Family Action Verdict
A well-rounded destination that works for every age in the group β toddlers in the sand pit, older kids on the zip line, and teens on the BMX track, all within one fenced precinct near Whangarei's waterfront.

βReturning every year I find the City of Whangarei continues to make positive additions for all people and families. The Pohoe playground, the nearby pump track and the paved tracks are wonderful additions, beautifully finished.β
