Dr John Lightbody Reserve is a family park on Escotts Road in Tuakau, Franklin. It has play equipment for children, including swings, spring rockers, a roundabout, a climbing wall, a flying fox, a seesaw, a spinner and slides. There is also a skate park and a basketball hoop, and the reserve has seating.
The reserve is home to the Tuakau Youth Centre and the Tuakau Combined Sports Society club rooms, so it is a hub for young people and local sport. Our pick in Tuakau for a family afternoon with a skate park and a playground.
