Why it's special
Fun playground
The playground includes a climbing web leading to a tall slide and a flying fox for older children. A special area for young children to play ensures fun for all. The reserve also includes accessible toilets and parking, making it easy for everyone to enjoy the space. Additionally, communication boards in both English and Māori are installed to support non-speaking tamariki and whānau, making the playground a welcoming space for all.
Diverse sports and event facilities
Beyond the playground, Mazengarb Reserve is a major hub for sports and events. With a range of playing fields, including touch rugby fields in the summer and soccer fields in the winter, there's always something happening here. The Coastlands Kapiti Sports Turf provides a high-quality space for hockey and other sports, and the Mazengarb Sports Complex is available for hire, offering changing rooms and event spaces. Whether you're practising personal fitness, attending an event, or watching a game, the reserve is a lively and engaging community space.
