Purser Grove Playground

If you’ve got a toddler who wants to run around without you hovering two steps behind, this little spot off Waiwhetu Road is worth knowing about. The enclosed setup means you can actually relax while they do their thing — proper visibility throughout, so nothing sneaks past you. There’s a baby swing on site, though fair warning, it’s not the most supportive option for really young babies. Pushchair access is easy, which makes the whole trip a lot less stressful.
