And…

giant reimagined “leaves” to climb over and around, and

Best Playgrounds in Auckland for Older Kids and Teens?

Older kids and teens won’t be bored at Myers Park Playground either.

Parkour is the name of the game here, with:

a climbing gym with slides
chain ropes, and
balance beams.

Climbing frame

See how long it takes the family members to get around this without touching the floor.

Monkey Bars

Try the monkey bars with a difference.

Watch out – those metal circles move unexpectedly!

Concrete Step Parkour

Nearby, the giant concrete steps, and the wooden platform with ledges and angled rises, challenge for the most nimble of feet.

Basket Swing

My boys loved the spider web swing – super LONG chains help it swing super dooper high!

I loved the rubber mat flooring underneath the climbing frame and swings.
