Little Rangitoto Reserve, tucked along Upland Road in Remuera, is a fun and well-designed local park that caters for tamariki of all ages. With a colourful playground, a scooter-friendly path and a concrete skate bowl, it’s a great spot for kids to run, ride and play after school or on the weekend.

What You’ll Find at the Reserve

This reserve packs a lot into one open space. The playground features toddler and standard swings, a slide, balance equipment and monkey bars. Kids love the flying fox, and the circular path around the park is perfect for bikes and scooters. The skate bowl, set slightly apart from the play area, offers a fun challenge for beginners and more confident skaters alike.
