Thorndon Park's Paripardu playground in Paradise is organised around bird-life themes. Its Wading/Waterways zone has water play and a hen sculpture that gives off a fine mist, and the water play is raised to wheelchair height. Elsewhere there is raised sand play, a liberty swing, accessible trampolines, a carousel, a flying fox and a parkour course. The accessible toilet has an adult change table and hoist. The park is open at all hours, but the main car park is locked overnight. Entry is free.
