Connaught Street, opp Craigavon Park, Auckland 0600
Standout destination playground: fully fenced (called out by every review), plus a dedicated fenced junior area grouping the infant swing, junior multi-play, embankment slide, basket swing and water play. Water play is a mild hazard for the youngest but it's contained inside the outer fence. Big variety keeps older kids engaged too.
Description explicitly states the surface is bark, a barrier for wheelchair users across this large play space. Off street parking is available but no accessible bay or firm path to the equipment is mentioned.
Craigavon Playspace is a large, comprehensively equipped playground in Avondale, on Auckland's western side, built for a full afternoon of play rather than a quick stop.
