★★★★★Featured review by Playgrounds of Porirua

Right next to the Pukerua Bay branch of the library, this playground is good stop for a play. It has the essentials, double slide, half bucket and adult swings, glider flying fox and the fireman's pole! Other features include the the wobbly bridge and the springy ride-on. Enough to keep the smalls happy here!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Confident children aged five and up get the most from the crow's nest, flying fox and fast orange slide. The library next door makes a natural pairing for a longer outing.

Great little wooden park, quiet street that isn't far off the old highway. Suitable for ages 3+. There isn't any public facilities though. Nearest public toilet is up near the corner store/dairy. The orange slide is super fast!

Excellent playground. Better than how it looks in pictures. Probably better for kids who are stable navigating on their own than little ones. Maybe at least 5+ I'd say unless you have a particularly agile little one.

Great playground. Aimed at older children with little available for under 3's. Worth a visit
