Owairaka Park

Look closely at this cool Google Map of Owairaka Park, the rugby players are all lined up in the middle of the paddock. This is what community parks are about, the fancy new playground in the top corner, with a bit of shade for the grandparents, a flourishing community garden in the other. It even connects via a path to Underwood, Hendon and Walmsley parks in Mount Roskill.

This new city park is for children and adults. It has a flying fox, hexagonal climbing wall modules, a double scale swing, a roundabout and spinner units. For older children and adults there are two half basketball courts, a volleyball court and a junior bike track with speed bumps. Volleyball players are catered for and there is a popular skate park.
