The playground is fully fenced and includes themed zones for sliding, swinging and spinning. The playground caters to little ones all the way through to adults. It also includes a sensory garden, water play, an accessible tower, performance stage, retreat huts and spaces for coming together with your friends, family and community.
“The team at BHW did an amazing job meeting the specific requirements we had for NZ's first Magical Bridge playground. We loved how they made features of the trees and topography. We couldn’t be more pleased with the result”
