The playground at Takapuna Beach Reserve is a great place for families because it has everything close by, including car parks, toilets, and changing rooms. Families can enjoy playing in the playground and then head to the beach next to it. There are also lifeguard stations nearby for kids to go swimming.

The playground at Takapuna Beach Reserve is suitable for kids of various ages, but it may be more challenging for very young children due to the height of some play equipment. Children aged 8 and 10 had a great time and were very satisfied with the playground.

At Takapuna Beach Reserve, families can enjoy tables, BBQ facilities, public toilets, and a great beach with a park for the kids. It's a nice place to spend time with your kids and family, although parking around the area may be a bit expensive.
