Ti Rakau Reserve Playground is a park at 4 Kestrel Place, Woolston, Christchurch 8023, rated 4.4 from 8 Google reviews. Customers describe a small playground suited to ages 3 and up, a bike path and a large grass area, and one mentions new swings.
A good neighbourhood playground is judged on whether its equipment suits a range of ages and on its ground surface. Bark and soft matting cushion falls, but they are easier to walk on with closed shoes, which is worth remembering with small children. Reserves with bike paths and open grass suit a visit that mixes play with a walk. Before going, check whether toilets and water are nearby, because many suburban reserves have neither.
For a short play and a walk in Woolston, Ti Rakau Reserve is worth a visit to see the swings for yourself.
