A great playground within a lovely park with a lot to do for the whole family. There’s an area for bigger kids that allows climbing, sliding, balancing and swinging skills to be tested. There’s also a good long and reasonably fast flying fox. Just across a grassy area there a section for smaller kids (you can see one area from the other if you have kids of different ages with you but it’s probably not within shouting distance). There’s also a fenced splash pool open in the summer months (10am -7pm) with a mini slide and sprays. It’s worth noting that as with most water areas within parks, this in unsupervised so you shouldn’t leave your kids unattended there. The pool is most suited to preschoolers as it’s very shallow but kids of all ages seem to have fun there.

Further into the park, there’s a mini road system for kids to practice their cycling or scooting skills including mini road humps and roundabouts. Longer cycle rides are also possible by joining up with the Rimutaka Cycle Trail along the Hutt River that runs through this park. There are also BBQs and loads of running around space, plenty of big trees providing shade at different times of the day and toilets near the playground areas.
