The Margaret Mahy Family Playground

What a great playground! So many fun and interesting objects to interact with. Great slides, including a three story spiral tube slide. There’s also a fun waterpark area where kids can pump water and manipulate where it goes. A great place for kids to have fun and explore physics.

No wonder it has such a high rating—4.8! A must-visit place for families with young kids. My children, aged 10 and 8, loved this place, and we ended up spending two hours here. We were tourists and stayed in New Zealand for three weeks, and this was the best park we visited. There were clean toilets and a few vendors selling snacks and drinks.

What a great park to spend the day at , coin operated bbqs, fish and chip cart that are delicious , donut cart , ice cream cart . Great water play area for the warmer days . Close buy is a bike pump track and other cafes . Loads of parking .What a great spot on the central city .

Impressive creation! This huge playground off Manchester Street is amazing. There are dozens of things to swing and climb up. My kids favourite is the double flying fox, because they can race each other. There are food outlets BBQs and toilets too.

The playground has many attractions like slides, swings, a sandpit, and a lot of toys to develop new skills like climbing, balance and others. It also has a water play area that's amazing! I really recommend it!

Amazing playground for children. Really fun slides and zipline.

It is a versatile park, my daughter enjoyed it so much when we were in Christchurch. Its made creatively, is in a central location and often has food vans too. The water play area is fun too. Mostly for kids over 4 years.

An incredible playground for kids big and small! While it can get quite busy, the kids always have a blast and find lots of new friends. On warm days the water play and sand are a big hit, during the winter the climbing tower and slide are the best. And the flying fox is amazing year round!
