We’re taking a look at some of Auckland's best playgrounds. This week: Olympic Park, Portage Road, New Lynn.

What’s on offer?

Olympic Park is a state-of-the-art playground that has been awarded the Outstanding Park Award by the New Zealand Recreation Association.

It’s a fun, spacious and colourful playground that has oodles of play equipment for all kids to enjoy.

It features a massive rope-climbing frame, basketball half court, swinging tyres and, for the young ones, a large and sheltered sandpit.  

More to do

With a large rolling green space (perfect for a picnic), sports fields and accessible concrete pathways, there’s heaps on offer for a fun family day out.

There are public toilets, drinking fountains and picnic tables for your convenience.
