This was a fantastic privately funded project that build the area. Its now been handed over to the Christchurch City Council. I go regularly with my grandson and he has a great time playing on the log climbs, slide and flying fox. Its an awesome place for kids of all ages

Great spot to play. Something different in the trees. And has a parent child swing, first time I seen one of these in all the playgrounds we’ve been too. Definitely worth a visit here
