Levin Adventure Park

Reviewed By EmptyJars

Always worth a stop - a fantastic range of colourful play equipment for all ages from toddler to young adult. It even has workout equipment for adults. The toilet is clean and well-maintained. Hard to drag the kids away!

Bay Skate

Reviewed By DebsH200 - Wellington, New Zealand

Unlike most skate parks you find, Bay Skate does charge you to use it - I believe it was $8 for our son to go in. Would happily take him back again! Great areas for parents to watch their kids, a really large park and areas for different abilities too which is fantastic! Well maintained and cared for - there is no graffiti and I believe you can hire skateboards and scooters from their store too. Fully fenced which offers a great sense of security too. Our son absolutely loved his time there!

Fantastic little park with water fun, picnic areas and also easily accessible near shops and beach... Loads of fun, especially for the younger members of the family (but older ones had fun too!).

Maclean Park Playground

Reviewed By majelljames - Ballarat, Australia

We went to this park as we had previously visited on our last trip to New Zealand. We sat at the picnic table and ate our dinner. The seagulls were happy to share. The sunset over the water was spectacular and made our day complete. There was play equipment for children but as we didn't have any with us we can't review the play ground. The beach looked lovely to stroll along or go in the water.
