Maygrove playground

If you’ve got kids who are obsessed with their bikes or scooters, this is the spot locals keep coming back to. The bike track is the real drawcard here — there’s enough room for kids to actually get some speed up without parents having a heart attack. It’s a solid pick for the 2-12 crowd, and the open space means younger ones can roam while older kids do their thing. Ask any family around Orewa where they spend their weekends and Maygrove comes up pretty much every time.
