Karori Park Play Area

Our twins age 7 love this park. Nearby fish and chip shop means we sometimes have a sunday dinner there alfresco. Next door is the karori 1km loop and cafe. Safe for kids to run, cycle or scooter around and learn to cycle.They love the gum.machines as you walk around loop too.

The new more accessible playground is pretty good. My son especially enjoys the Eagle claw swing and the recessed trampoline. Still a bit sparse on shade though, the chosen position of the new shade structure doesn't do much to block the sun after 2pm.

A small play area just next to the main road...highlight is the flying for which is quite small compared to Brooklyn park but good for much younger kids. Playground next to kids play area is huge and good for many activities

Live it!!! Great for kids. And great walk around.

Good little park for the little ones. Has a cover for children when the sun is out so they can carry on playing in the shade.The book box is a brilliant idea also.

Great play area for over 5year olds. Could do with play equipment for under 5's. Has free book box. Playground has now been upgraded, fantastic

Excellent place to visit with the kids. They had a lot of fun.

Grandkids love the play area here. It's extremely popular. Also check out the fairy walk" in the trees on the far side of Karori Park"

This is a sports park. There's a 1km dual track running around it, one track is tarmac and the other gravel/dirt. Within the bounds of the track is a large level grass field for anything you can play on a grass field, though mainly used by football (soccer) and cricket players. There are some exercise stations around the field and a nicely equipped kids playground in a corner, with a cafe just 20m away. Public toilets and a drinking fountain are located near the main entrance. There's a mountain bike area at the back of the park with a range of tracks from beginner upwards. A dairy is located 100m west along the main road and there are some takeaway shops located 200m east (back towards the city). A safe, friendly area for everyone. Even when it's pitch dark, there are sometimes keen people still walking/running around the circular track, especially on warmer evenings.
