A beautiful playground for many ages and stages. It has the usual play features, but also includes accessible options which is wonderful to see. We saw a wheelchair user have a wonderful time on the wheelchair see-saw, as well as explore the different aspects that were close to paths and able to explore from a chair. The swings feature a basket swing close to the ground, standard swings and a disability swing with full seat and seatbelts. A well thought out playground, especially for families with wheelchair users or runners as it's full fenced! Great job to the Kapiti parks team!

Lorna Irene Drive Reserve in Raumati South is a Kāpiti Coast District Council all-abilities destination playground that won 2023 NZ Playground of the Year from Recreation Aotearoa. The site features New Zealand's first wheelchair seesaw, a wheelchair-accessible roundabout and tower, sensory play stations and a community-donated inclusive swing (one of seven gifted to the Wellington region by Kris and Cyrus Dahl). The design was developed with input from families of children with disabilities; consistently described as a national-standard inclusive play space rather than a typical local park.

Hands down the BEST playground for under 5s! Took my 20 month old and I think he would quite happily have stayed their all day! …
