Why these ages?

Description flat-out states 'unfenced with direct beach access. This suits older, more independent children but requires close supervision for toddlers near the water'. Nautical-themed wooden equipment with crow's nest rope climb is great for 5-10yos, and a dedicated toddler/baby area exists — but Seatoun harbour beach is the play area's edge, not distance-buffered. Two-adult beach outing, not a one-adult toddler park.

Access notes

A review explicitly describes the playground surface as small gravel like the beach itself, consistent with an uneven and unpaved approach across the unfenced beachside site. No accessible parking bay, accessible toilet or step free path is named in the source text, so there is no basis for an accessible verdict.

    Nice open park by the beach. Playground has very small gravel like the beach, and will follow you home lol. Swings didn’t squeak.

    Beautiful on a good Wellington day. Great walks in either direction.

    Cute wooden park, with a seaside theme. Unfenced and directly beside a large beach. It has two swing sets and a large basket style swing. Some great rope climbing (with a cool Crow's Nest to climb up to), a little slide and baby/toddler playground equipment nearby too (it's a bit older but still functional). A few wooden seats nearby and plenty of on street free parking. There are public toilets nearby (one has a baby change table in it, and the single toilet has a handy toddler seat to keep them safe while parents/caregivers use the facilities).
