The updated playground has a new climbing frame and slides, and reviewers mention plenty of open space to kick a ball. Reviews are mixed, and some reviewers say there are no toilets, bins or drinking water.
A neighbourhood park with a playground needs basic facilities, since families stay longer when toilets, bins and water are close by. Dog owners should keep their dogs under control, and check that fences and gates are sound before letting dogs run. Newer equipment usually has rounded edges, but any wire or sharp edge should be reported to the council straight away. When choosing a park, look for shade, seating and a clear walking path around the reserve.
For open space to kick a ball or a newer playground in Massey, it is a reserve worth a visit on Spargo Road.
