The Pohe Island Destination Playground sits inside William Fraser Memorial Park on Pohe Island Road in central Whangārei, opened in December 2022. The site is one of Northland's largest inclusive play spaces, anchored by the bespoke 7m Pohe Island Tower with dual towers linked by rope bridges and two tube slides, and supplemented by a sensory sandpit, wheelchair-accessible carousels, inground trampolines, acoustic music panels, water play, climbing structures, ziplines and ample swings, all set on continuous poured-rubber surfacing with a 272-space car park and toilets nearby.

Enjoyable by all kids, young and old. Be willing to chase grandchildren all over the park, or enjoy them while you sit on swings. Lovely day out with whanau.

Finally made it down to this fantastic park. It has something for every age and even has some wheelchair and pram-accessible paths, swings and children's games. They can climb high or low and push themselves. Everyone was having fun. Also has accessible toilets and drinking fountains with loads of parking. If you have more time you can pop down to the Camera Obscura or walk along the path right around the loop. This can be a destination in itself or a stop-off on a walk around the basin.
