Raumanga Scenic Reserve Playground

Tucked within a regenerating native forest, the Raumanga Scenic Reserve Playground is a unique, nature-immersive play space that encourages adventure and imaginative discovery for children of all abilities.

A nature-focused play journey – This playground is designed to blend seamlessly with its bush environment. The core play structure is a multi-level timber fortress connected by ramps, bridges, and a sturdy climbing net, challenging children's coordination and bravery. A long, fast tube slide delivers an exciting descent back to ground level.

Thoughtful zoning for different play styles – The playground is thoughtfully designed with distinct zones to cater to all. The most accessible equipment, including the wheelchair-accessible swing, merry-go-round, and seesaw, is located on a stable, soft rubber surface for easy access and navigation. For those seeking a more traditional forest adventure, additional play equipment like the timber fortress is situated on an elevated, bark-chip terrain, adding to the rustic feel.

Engaging for a range of ages and interests – Alongside the large fortress, the playground offers a separate set of traditional swings and a dedicated sand play area with diggers for tactile fun. The use of natural materials and the surrounding bush creates a stimulating sensory experience, perfect for imaginative play.

Essential amenities for comfort – The play area is supported by public toilet facilities located nearby in the reserve. Several picnic tables and benches are situated close to the equipment, providing spots for families to relax while watching their children play.

A beloved natural escape – Highly valued by the local community, this playground is praised for its unique bush setting, the physical challenge it presents, and its thoughtful zoning of accessible and adventurous play areas. It’s the perfect spot for families seeking a play experience that feels like a true adventure.
