Nice quick little break area with a nice view. Got some take-away and parked up in the car. Nice little walk or cute spot to take some photos or just enjoy the view

Eric Armishaw Park
117 Walker Road, Point Chevalier, Auckland 1022
Why these ages?
Directly adjacent to Waitemata Harbour beach with no barrier - real drowning risk for wandering toddlers, though tide is often out. Hamster wheel, infant swing, spring toy and basket swing suit toddlers to early primary; reviewer confirms 10yo bored, 5yo loves it. Tubular slide and tower add some challenge but tween appeal is thin.
Access notes
Description confirms level, step free access running straight from the path onto the play area, but also states that bark and artificial surfacing sit under different parts of the layout, meaning some equipment areas remain bark underfoot.

Equipment
Eric Armishaw Park's signature piece is a large hamster wheel that kids climb inside and spin, sitting right on the Waitemata Harbour edge in Point Chevalier. A tower with a tubular slide, a spinner, a spring toy and an embankment slide round out the layout, with swings covering every age including a basket swing and an infant swing, and a large grassy area to run once the equipment loses its novelty.
