Children's Playground

This playground on Wharf Road in Ostend is a reliable stop for families near the heart of one of Waiheke Island's main villages, set within the wider Ostend Recreation Reserve alongside the local tennis courts.

Equipment

The equipment favours active and cooperative play: a climbing net, a basket swing, a small carousel suited to young children, a rocker, and slalom poles that add a movement challenge. The basket swing and carousel are the most toddler friendly pieces on site, and bark chip covers the play surface throughout.

Practical Info

Public toilets and picnic tables are on the reserve, useful given the playground serves ferry visitors as well as local families, and the tennis courts extend the outdoor offering for older children. On street parking is available on Wharf Road, and Auckland Council's smokefree policy applies.
