About Manuka playground

Built largely from timber, this neighbourhood playspace centres on an active wooden fort paired with slides, a climbing wall, and a spider-web rope net for scrambling. Swings look out towards the water, while low-to-the-ground balance elements give younger children plenty to tackle without needing to negotiate the higher climbing nets. The use of natural wood and open ropes lets the structure blend into its reserve setting, encouraging physical clambering and agility rather than just static play.

Set in New Lynn, it gives local families an unfussy outdoor option for burning off energy by the water.
