Grew up there, love the roofed court ànd community centre
Kirkpatrick Park
703 Kiwi Street, Camberley, Hastings 4120
Why these ages?
Community-centre park with infant + basket swings, spring toy, multi-play slide and splash pad on artificial surface plus half/full basketball courts and rugby fields for older kids. Splash pad water means active supervision needed; fencing is only being added in the current upgrade so currently no barrier. Toilets, BBQ, gazebo shade all on site.
Access notes
Surfacing is described as artificial rather than bark, generally firmer for wheels, and toilets and off street parking are on site. No accessible parking bay or accessible toilet is specifically mentioned though.
What's here
Kirkpatrick Park's playground on the Kiwi Street side, next to the Camberley Community Centre, centres on a splash pad that runs through the warmer months, alongside swings, a climbing frame with a slide, and a rocker and supernova spinner for older kids. A basketball half-court sits right beside the equipment. An upgrade currently underway is adding a new play tower, a basket swing, more shade, fencing and fresh safety surfacing.
