Hillcrest Park

Hillcrest Park playground in Hillcrest, Hamilton, was renewed within the last five years and offers a well-rounded equipment set across an artificial grass and bark surface. It sits inside a medium-to-large community park on Masters Avenue that also includes three bookable sports fields, a boardwalk, and changing rooms.

Equipment

The playground includes an inground trampoline set flush with the surface, a climbing mound, an embankment slide, a tunnel, a balance course, a basket swing, and an infant swing. The balance course steps up the challenge for older children with a series of stepping and balancing elements, while the tunnel and basket swing are favourites for the youngest visitors.

Access and Inclusion

The inground trampoline is accessible at ground level without steps, lowering barriers for children with limited mobility. The basket swing and infant swing are suited to babies and toddlers. Toilets, changing rooms, and picnic tables are on site. On-street parking is available on Masters Avenue.

Practical Info

The park includes three sports fields available for booking, a boardwalk, and changing rooms alongside the playground facilities. Picnic tables and seating are on site. Hamilton City Council's smokefree policy covers the playground and green spaces.
