Colourful Aronia Park Playground in Goodwood Heights

Auckland for Kids on the colourful slides at Ariona Park

Aronia Park is a new colourful rainbow playground in South Auckland’s neighbourhood Goodwood Heights which is close to Flat Bush, Clover Park and Manukau. There are two colourful slides, two giant swings, a spinner, stepping stones and a flying fox (which wasn’t working when we visited). Some of the play equipment had covered shade clothes over it so the kids can still enjoy them in summer. There are also two covered picnic tables for families to enjoy eating out at the park.
