Onemana

We visited Onemana, in the Coromandel, in July 2005 to view the new playground. We had been told it was a break from the traditional swings and slides. Hats off to a Council that has put some thought into building a wonderful playground.

What we discovered was a boat in the middle of the playground, complete with slides and tunnels. This was a real hit with the older children, as it allowed games of hide and seek and tag. The only down side of the boat is that it is suitable for four years upwards due to the lack of low level handle bars. 

The playground also has a seesaw and swings, with toilet located a few metres away from the park. 

 

The Onemana playground is located a about 60 metres from the beach, with a large common area suitable for flying kites. A public tennis court is located on the other side of the parking area. 

The beach itself is not safe for very young swimmers as it drops off quickly and the waves tend to bound swimmers. But for older children it is a lot of fun. In summer the beach is normally patrolled by lifeguards.

On the southern end of the beach is shallower and more suitable for parents with younger children, however the toilets are quite a distance from there.

With rocks at either end of the beach, fishing and climbing are suitable for older children with adult supervision. However like most fishing from rocks the dangers of large waves must never be ruled out.

Holiday accommodation is readily available in the area, however as it is a popular place accommodation should be booked early.

Onemana is only fifteen minutes drive from Whangamata.

Whangamata has its own picture theatre which regularly runs children movies.
