Put your ninja skills to the test

A ninja warrior course is the clear highlight of the new Meridian Central Stage 25 Park in Clyde North.

“Every tree, every play space, and every pathway has been meticulously planned to create an engaging space that fosters connections and welcomes all,” the developer said.

The main playground features a tall tower with a huge twisting tunnel slide plus a smaller tunnel slide, both reached by a combination of steps and inclined walkways.

There’s a play area for younger kids, with a soft mound with ledges to climb to a rope bridge with access to a platform and slide, climbing wall, and rope ladder.

The area also has steppers, and percussion pipes to hit to make sounds.

There are swings, of course, plus a rock climbing wall to challenge all ages.

The ninja warrior course features many challenges familiar to those who’ve watched the TV show, and a QR code allows you to log your course time.

Kids and grownups can put a big grassy area, outdoor gym, tennis court, and basketball court through their paces, and there are shelters, tables, barbecues, water taps, and toilets.

The park is at 38 Portobello Boulevard, Clyde North.
