Margaret Mahy Family Playground, Christchurch

Named after the famous local author, this modern playground in the central city is hard to beat.

Some of the highlights include a four metre wide slide, double flying fox and climbing wall. There's also a water play area with a splash pad, water cannons and sprinklers. There are separate activity areas for kids of different ages, including a fenced area for the under 5s. The design of this innovative playground reflects the landscape of the Canterbury Plains and Port Hills. There is a free car park in Armagh Street.
