Great little a playground and grassy area near the Titahi Bay Beach. Enough playground equipment, swings and a large fun seasaw (heaps of people can stand on it at the same time!) to occupy everyone of all ages. The spinning roundabout seat wasn't working when we visited though. There is also a picnic table and free BBQ here. Facilities as a short walk down the hill, beside the beach and carpark. There is also a public bus stop nearby too.

Arnold Park
South Beach Access Road, Tītahi Bay, Porirua 5022
Why these ages?
Full swing bank (infant + high-back accessible + standard), inground carousel, spinner, climbing frame, balance eq and multi-play with slides on artificial surface. Free BBQ and picnic tables. Sits above Titahi Bay - beach and ocean are a short walk down the hill, not right at the equipment, giving reasonable buffer for supervised toddlers. Reviewers describe grassy slope for rolling and the site as 'fantastic for little kids and families'.
Access notes
Description names a high back accessible swing and an inground flush deck carousel on an artificial surface, and a review corroborates swings for all abilities and an inclusive round about, but parking and path are not confirmed.

Equipment
Arnold Park is one of the few Porirua playgrounds with direct beach access, sitting at the southern end of Tītahi Bay off South Beach Access Road. A full set of swings including a high back accessible swing, an inground carousel, climbing structure, and multi play structure with slides make it a solid stop before or after a swim.
