A great place to play! Have a swing, a race down the double slide or follow the obstacle course around from the fort. There's seating for parents and a water fountain too!
Endeavour Park Playground
28 Albatross Close, Whitby, Porirua 5024
Why these ages?
Infant and basket swings suit toddlers while the multi play structure, embankment slide and spinner suit primary age children. One review also mentions an obstacle course around a fort. No fencing is mentioned in the source.
Access notes
A reviewer explicitly states there was no easy way to get onto the field in a wheelchair, and that the clubrooms are only reachable upstairs. The source does not describe a step free path, accessible parking or toilet at the playground itself.
What's here
Endeavour Park in Whitby, Porirua, pairs a well equipped playground with a much larger reserve that includes a remnant native forest and wetland area, making it a good stop for both structured play and a short explore afterwards.
