Roam with Kids is an app and website that helps parents find family-friendly playgrounds, parks, events, cafes and activities across New Zealand. It is based in Whenuapai, Waitakere City, Auckland. Users can filter places by shade, toilets, parking and fenced play areas, and can save favourites. The site says it has more than 10,000 families using it and thousands of spots reviewed by parents.
Parents who use the app say it helps them find new playgrounds in different parts of town and plan weekend outings, and one says the fenced playgrounds were a great help with a double buggy. The app runs a school holiday competition with $6000 in prizes, as recent news, and offers discount codes. The website says the app is free to download.
