Really great playground, and I can see that a lot of thought has been put into it to make it interesting for kids. One of the more interesting additions are the two coconut shaped things suspended in the air by poles, which you can climb up into and go between them. Lot's of memories formed there. There are also heaps of other things in the playground which are great. I would also recommend going on a little biking trip around the area, and you can stop at the playground as a little breather, or end destination. 😁
Hobsonville Point Playground
3 De Havilland Road, Hobsonville, Auckland 0616
Why these ages?
Distinctive seed-pod climb-through structures, water play, slide, climbing frame, infant swing, bowl rocker and balance equipment with shade sails — broad range with toddler-appropriate infant swing and rocker. Description notes a rope buffer separates the play area from the nearby De Havilland Road, so there's a real road hazard partly mitigated by distance/rope only (not a full fence). Toddlers need consistent line of sight toward the road side.
What's here
Hobsonville Point Playground features award-winning play equipment shaped like giant coastal seed pods in rust tones, a distinctive climb-through structure that suits a wide range of ages on the De Havilland Road side of Hobsonville Point Park.
