Play Trailer

The community play trailer is a free resource for the Manawatū District, to promote play and support healthy communities.

The play trailer is free to hire for community groups and organisations within the Manawatū District. It is packed with play-based equipment designed to support and empower the community. This initiative was made possible thanks to funding from the Tu Manawa Active Aotearoa fund and the support of Replay NZ.

We have a range of play equipment provided in the trailer for the community. It is loaded with items such as balls, giant Jenga, hula hoops, noughts and crosses, giant connect 4, rackets, giant snakes and ladders, cornhole, agility ladder and more. A full list of the equipment is contained within the play trailer.

If you belong to a community group or organisation within the Manawatū District Council region and wish to use the play trailer within the Manawatū district, you are welcome to borrow it.

Please note that the trailer is not available for private hire.

Here’s a tutorial video on how to hitch and unhitch a trailer. During the pickup, you will receive a demonstration, and a checklist will be completed.

The individual towing the trailer must possess a full driver's license, as well as a vehicle with current registration and WOF. This must be shown at the time of collection.
