Tennis Court Road Playground

Locals know this one’s worth stopping at — the wooden climbing structure has enough going on to keep kids genuinely busy, not just for five minutes. It sits right alongside the tennis courts and mini skate park, so older siblings or parents can do their own thing while the little ones tackle the slides. The shade trees are proper big ones, which matters on a hot Raumati afternoon, and the benches are positioned well so you’re not craning your neck to keep an eye on a two-year-old. With the forest edge nearby, it has that slightly wild feeling that kids seem to love. Good for anyone from toddlers right through to about ten.
