Toetoe-roaCooper Park
Also known as Whitley No. 2 Reserve

Toetoe-roa has a literal translation of 'long toetoe', or 'tall toetoe'.

This park lies on land that was traditionally known for its toetoe. This is also where Papatoetoe gets its name that means 'grounds where toetoe grow'.

A colourful playground with lots to keep all ages entertained.

Smaller children will enjoy the low section of the play module with a yellow slide, seesaw, nature play, swings and path for riding bikes and scooters.

The more adventurous can burn off energy on the high climbing net, climbing and hanging equipment, parallel bars and high slide.

There is a basketball half-court nearby, and a sand volleyball court - you need to bring your own net!
