Milldale Playground

If you’ve got little ones who are obsessed with anything on two wheels, this Wainui park is worth knowing about. The bike and pump track is genuinely the main draw here — younger kids love it, and it keeps them busy way longer than a standard playground would. There are swings too, which is always a win when you’ve got toddlers to entertain. Pack some lunch because the picnic tables make it easy to settle in for a proper outing rather than a quick stop. It’s the kind of local community park that the Milldale neighbourhood is lucky to have.
