Kimbolton Domain

Kimbolton Domain's playground is newly rebuilt: the village's 1990s play space was replaced in December 2025, so this small rural Manawatū playground at the southern entrance to Kimbolton now has bright, current equipment.¹ It sits on the domain beside the netball and tennis courts,¹ an easy stop for families in the farming district north of Feilding.³

Equipment

The Kimbolton Community Committee helped choose the new gear: a swing set, a spinner seat, a seesaw and a modular slide with a climbing wall.¹ The swing set is the piece to come for. It has a 360-degree swing and seats sized from toddlers up to adults, so a parent can swing alongside the kids.¹ This is a compact neighbourhood set rather than a destination, best suited to under-fives and primary-age children after a swing, a slide and a short climb.

Practical Info

The domain is a working sports ground, with several rugby fields that host Feilding Old Boys/Oroua home games, plus tennis courts and a bowling green.² Match days can bring a crowd. The council's pages do not list toilets, shade or fencing for the playground, so pack accordingly and keep an eye on little ones, as the domain fronts Kimbolton Road. The village has a cafe, and the district's rhododendron gardens, including Heritage Park, make it easy to turn a quick play into a longer outing.³ Kimbolton School's playground is under a kilometre away if the kids want more.
