1. Myers Park



In Myers Park between Upper Queen St, K Road and Greys Ave.
1 medium and 1 small slide, a large wooden set of platforms connected by tunnels, ladders and wobbly bridges, 1 see saw, 3 swings (1 chained in swing), a bus-like frame on springs, a horizontal tyre swing, 3 hand-hanging sections and several pipe structures for climbing.
A pleasant location for a playground in the middle of Auckland. The park has a bad reputation for dodgy goings on at night but is fine to visit during the day. The playground is covered in spongy tiles.

Variety 3/5 Good climbing opportunities but the hanging activities are too advanced for a 2-4 year old. Slides, swing, see saw.
Challenge 4/5 The slides are short and straight so a bit dull but the climbing pipes and wooden structure encourage lots of effort and excitement.
Condition 4/5
Location 4/5 A quiet spot in the city surrounded by tall palm trees and some lovely old buildings.
Toilet Yes - but obviously well used at night.
Attention Span 1 hour
