Totara Treehouse Playground is a playground at 90 Wairere Road, The Gardens, Manukau City, Auckland, rated 4.8 from 5 Google reviews. It has a treehouse climbing structure in a quiet corner near Totara Park, and reviewers mention lots of trees, clean toilets and free parking.
A treehouse-style playground is judged on its climbing structure, the ground beneath it and how safe the high platforms are. Equipment set among trees suits children who like to explore, but check that the surface below any high section is soft. Parking on suburban streets is often free and can fill up at busy weekends, so arriving a little early helps. Regulars often pick a shaded spot for a picnic and let older children climb while younger ones use the lower equipment.
For a treehouse adventure among the trees in The Gardens, Totara Treehouse Playground is worth a visit.
