Why these ages?

One of Christchurch's few fully enclosed playgrounds per multiple reviews, with baby swing, junior slide, spring toys, maze and tubular slide covering 2-10. Toilets, cafe, picnic tables on site. Heathcote River across the road but fencing separates play zone from road and river. Ideal wander-safe spot for toddlers.

Accessibility

Partial access

+ Poured rubber surface (firm for wheels)

Access notes

Description explicitly states the play surface is Matta interlocking tiles, a firm rubber style surface good for wheelchair users, though no accessible toilet is confirmed and only on street parking serves the site.

Cashmere Playground at 73 Cashmere Road is fenced on the side facing the road, one of the more reliably secure spots in the southern suburbs for toddlers who wander, and best suited to ages 2 to 10. It sits at the foot of the Port Hills where Cashmere's streets give way to the Heathcote River valley, with the long green corridor of Ernle Clark Reserve running along the bank opposite.

The playground's main attraction is the big blue slide on the side. Though it also has swings, monkey bars, a maze, and a few others, too. The kids would love to ride their bike or scooter here. The space may be small, but they might enjoy the inclined trail in the middle (especially for those wee ones looking for adventure).

Brilliant playground! Fully fenced and safe. Most people dont know thi, but dogs actually aren't allowed in this park. As the animal control by laws states, dogs aren't to be within 2 meters of a playground, and the whole place is a playground. Massive big slide with climbing rocks and stairs and also smaller slides for little ones. Public toilet and picnic tables with grass hills to run on. Real fruit ice cream often available across the road at the beautiful cashmere riverbank. Highly recommended on a nice day with the kids. Bins provided, so please remind your children to keep the park litter free, or parents should pick up after them for our future generations to enjoy the park for years to come.

One of the very few completely enclosed playgrounds around Christchurch. Very good for young and old children alike. 1 min walk to a cafe so someone can pop down to grab some takeaway coffees to sip on whilst watching the kids.

Always busy but the equipment was looking pretty run down, most things need a new coat of paint and the iconic slide is under repair. Good location for a playground, needs some work though
