Rarangi Playground

Right next to the Rarangi Golf Club, this little playground is one of those spots locals know about but don’t always shout from the rooftops. It’s wheelchair accessible, which makes it genuinely usable for everyone in the family rather than just in theory. The Marlborough setting does a lot of the heavy lifting — you’re not just stuck in some suburban car park, there’s actual scenery to take in while the kids do their thing. A solid stop if you’re already out this way exploring the coast.
