Hillsborough Playground sits in Auckland Councils Waikowhai Park, off Waikowhai Road overlooking the Manukau Harbour. The headline piece is a 30 metre flying fox running through the tree tops, paired with a multi-level octagonal climbing tower, a curvy tube slide and a single wave slide, swings, see-saws, climbing nets and walls. Picnic tables, BBQ plates, off-leash dog area, and toilets are alongside, and a Waikowhai Walkway leads down to the harbour shore for low-tide rock-pooling. Consistently rated among Aucklands top playgrounds, especially for older kids chasing the flying fox.

This place is a good one to bring your kids to have fun, with a superb view from the top and one of the biggest slides we've seen so far. Grass and trees surround the place bringing excellent connection with nature. There are accessible restrooms at the entrance. Photos by our photography program participant Thomas Tolle
