A great stop for families. We played with a 4, 6 and 8 year old and each of them found something they loved. The proximity to toilets, lakeside, a small swimming stream and the Lee Summers sculpture is also a bonus. We loved the raised platforms with shade as it was a great place to refresh after being in the sun! Definitely worth visit if you visit Wānaka with children.

A cute and lovely playgrounds. The dino slide is a big hit for younger kids. My older ones love climbing in the rope tower, or whatever that is called.
