Takaro Park Playground is a playground at 165 Botanical Rd in Takaro, Palmerston North, with a Google rating of 4.3 from 71 reviews.
A good park playground is judged on a mix of equipment for different ages, and on the surface underneath, which should soften falls. Shade under trees is a real help on warm days, and a picnic table nearby makes a long visit easier. Playgrounds beside open lawns often see ball games and play at the same time, so it helps to keep an eye on younger children near the path. Many parents choose a quieter weekday morning, when there is more room on the equipment.
Its Botanical Rd setting makes it a handy place for a play break and a picnic in Takaro.
