Centennial Playground Kaeo

Centennial Playground is a medium-sized playground in Kaeo, a small Far North township, built around a swing set with an infant swing, a multi-play structure with a slide, a seesaw, a climbing net, and a spring toy. The mix of infant-friendly swings and slide alongside the seesaw and climbing net means the equipment suits toddlers through to primary-aged children in one compact reserve.

Equipment

A bark surface covers the play area. The infant swing and the slide, which is manageable for young children with some assistance, are the pieces best suited to the youngest visitors, while the seesaw, climbing net, and spring toy give older children more active options. Three shade sails cover much of the equipment, a genuine benefit given how strong Northland's midday sun gets in summer.

Access and Inclusion

Large gazebos shelter the picnic tables even where the shade sails do not reach, and off-street parking is available at the site, an easier option for families than kerbside parking in town.

Practical Info

Public toilets and picnic tables are on site. The playground predates 2019 and sits within the Far North District Council parks and reserves network for the Kaeo community, with a smokefree policy applying across the reserve.
