Koura Reserve Playground

Quietly tucked away in Rangiora, this reserve is one of those spots locals seem to keep to themselves. The play setup is modern and well-suited to younger kids — think slides, swings, a climbing structure, and a merry-go-round that actually gets used. There’s a basketball hoop on site too, which gives older siblings something to do while the little ones run around. Benches and parking make it easy for parents, and the whole place is kept genuinely tidy. A solid neighbourhood playground that doesn’t try too hard.
