Toddler-friendly0–4Child5–9

Why these ages?

Description explicitly calls it 'notably toddler-friendly': infant swing, bowl rocker, in-ground trampoline, junior slide. Grandparent review: 'Perfectly safe for little ones with no hazard of bigger children' and 'far enough from the road that we can catch up with him.' Native gully setting with a small stream well beyond the play area (not adjacent). Herbert Road is quiet residential. Small scale caps tween appeal.

Accessibility

Access notes

The playground is built on an artificial grass surface and a reviewer explicitly calls the park wheelchair accessible, though another reviewer notes the play area sits below grade and can pool water after rain.

Chartwell Park is a colourful playground in the Chartwell suburb of Hamilton, set in a native gully on Herbert Road with a walkway that runs through to Bankwood Road. The equipment range covers toddlers through to early primary, and the gully setting gives the visit a bush-walk feel that extends well beyond the play area.

Refurb looks amazing. Lovely and quiet with 2 public toilets very close by. Great for both smaller children and older ones. A couple of single benches and one picnic table with a sail.

Nice enough park with a few different access points. Big wide open spaces, a playground and a small section of boardwalk by a small stream with some birdlife (tui, grey warbler and kingfisher). Wheelchair accessible.

Nice park with lots of space to run and explore for kids. Playground is nice but quite small. Definitely a perfect location for a picnic with kids.

Excellent 'local' park with clean toilets. Only one picnic table close by and could've done with one or two extra bench seats by playground, otherwise very pleasant and close to cafe.

This is a sweet little playground we take my 3 year old grandson to in the cool of early evening. Perfectly safe for little ones with no hazard of bigger children. A bit run down but Alex doesn't care and it's far enough from the road that we can catch up with him before he gets into trouble!

I see that the play ground is being painted and hopefully upgraded. I do note that the play area is below the surrounding ground area, and as such does fill with water after rain. Maybe that could be fixed, as well.
