Little Rangitoto Reserve

This is a super cool park for kids! There’s a playground with actually nice and maintained play things and swings, slides, all that sort of thing — appeals to young babies up to older children.
Plenty of seating for parents while the kids play.
There is also a big flying fox, and a skate park for the bigger kids. To one side is a cliff that kids can climb up and have a little picnic at the top. We have had several birthday parties here.
And heaps of grassy playing area! HEAPS! But note — if you are allergic to grass, this is the grass that will make you come out in a rash.
Parking is on the road.

I love this little park located in the heart of Remuera. It has to be one of the more fun playgrounds in the area. With a swing set, a big climbing frame, slides, a flying fox and a skate board bowl, there is something here to entertain all the kids while you could be walking the dog (on leash only). Upland Road playground also has a lot of greenery for you to sit down on and set up a picnic for lunch or those summer evenings. Located incredibly close to Benson Road dairy, it’s only a short hop and skip away to get an ice block, ending a perfect fun filled afternoon at the playground.
I have grown up coming to this playground and have taken my siblings here a number of times. It’s always a favourite; you just can’t go past the awesome flying fox!
