Owairaka Park, Owairaka

A flying fox and some wacky-designed equipment that looks more interesting than it is fun to play on.
A set of 12-sided blocks with climbing holds was too difficult for my 2 1/2 year old. there is a small slide and several swings and rotating structures that didn't raise much interest for my son. A flying fox is always fun and was the highlight of this playground. This park one was busy on a Sunday afternoon with a lot of people hanging out there but not necessarily using the equipment for much more than a seat to sit on. The surroundings were uninteresting but it is a new park and may look better as trees grow.
