Nice little newly built children's play area with swings, slide, small trampoline and benches. The main park has football field and an artificial cricket pitch. Toilets and parking not too far. Good place for a picnic too.
Fitzroy Park
Waterford Road, Fitzroy, Hamilton 3206
Why these ages?
Simple neighbourhood play space on artificial grass with infant swing, small carousel, slide and see-saws — toddler-appropriate equipment. Borders Mangakootukutuku stream gully (reviews confirm balls rolling down into gully) so there's a real water/fall hazard, but the gully sits beyond the sports fields at a distance from the play equipment. Suburban Waterford Road, quiet setting.
Access notes
Description explicitly notes an artificial grass surface, a firm even ground for wheelchairs, with public toilets and on street parking nearby. No accessible parking or toilet is specifically confirmed though.
