Boardwalk Rise Playground is a nautical-themed playground at 15 Boardwalk Rise in Long Bay, Auckland, rated 4.2 on Google from 46 reviews. Visitors mention the slides, the climbing structures, the little boat and houses, and say the equipment is new and well made. Some say it is smaller than it looks in photos.
Playgrounds on a hill or near the coast can be exposed to wind, so bring a jacket and check the weather before a long visit. Wood-chip surfaces are soft under falls but can be deep to walk through, so watch younger children near the edges. Concrete steps can be hard on little feet, so hold smaller children's hands on the way up.
For Long Bay families with young children who want slides, a climbing frame and a quieter corner to play, Boardwalk Rise Playground is a pleasant stop.
