Broken Run Playground

The zipline is honestly the main draw here — little ones aged around 4 to 6 go absolutely nuts for it, and there’s usually a queue forming pretty quickly on a sunny Canterbury afternoon. It’s a genuinely quiet neighbourhood spot, the kind of place locals know about but doesn’t get overrun with weekend crowds. The open grass field is massive, so dogs have plenty of room to tear around while the kids play. There’s a walking path that loops nearby, and with a pond close by, the views give it a bit more character than your average suburban playground.
