Ōmokoroa Domain's $1.06 million playground is open for kids and adults to try out this summer.
The fences around the playground came down in an 'unofficial opening' after kaumatua from Pirirākau Hapū led a blessing of the site last week.
The destination playground features some spectacular play equipment including mega swings, pendulum swings, junior swings, climbing nets, timber play boat, a junior mound with slide, climber and tunnel, tower, in ground trampolines, mousewheel, musical equipment and wheelchair accessible carousel.
Western Bay of Plenty District Council's Reserves and Facilities Projects and Assets Manager, Scott Parker couldn't be happier to have this playground open in time for the summer holidays.
"We're thrilled that everyone living and visiting Ōmokoroa for Christmas will be able to enjoy the playground. A big thank you to our contractors, Downer, for pushing to get this done for the community."
