Seems like a new playground. Turf/fake grass underneath but quite soft to sit on. No swings but lots to climb on. Daughter almost 3 - wasn’t able to use climbing wall area but could climb to slide and enjoyed the area with balancing log and stumps to step along. BBQ with picnic table and water fountain. No rubbish bins. Minimal shade though did manage to set baby up in shade from structure itself.
Allenby Park Playground
Allenby Place, Wānaka 9305
Why these ages?
Ground-level mini trampolines and spring rockers give toddlers something without a step, and a review notes an almost-3-year-old could balance on logs and stumps and reach the slide. However the concrete scooter track loops through the park for scooters, skates and bikes, which cross toddler paths — parents can't switch off. Monkey bars, rope bridge swing, half basketball and tunnel skew usefulness toward primary and tween ages. No shade.
Access notes
Description explicitly notes the ground level mini trampolines require no step up, and a review independently describes a soft turf or fake grass surface underfoot. No parking or toilet information is confirmed though.
