Lorenzdale Park

Lorenzdale Park is a medium sized inclusive playground on Swiss Avenue in Gonville, Whanganui, with a wheelchair accessible merry go round, sensory panels and a multi level play fortress with ramps and bridges. It suits a wide range of ages and abilities, from wheelchair users to older kids after more challenge.

Equipment

An inclusive core area, laid on poured rubber surfacing, holds a wheelchair accessible merry go round and sensory panels for shared play. A separate bark chip area has a multi level play fortress with ramps and bridges, swings including an infant seat, a see saw, a carousel, musical play chimes and a half basketball court.

Access and Inclusion

The poured rubber surface in the inclusive core gives wheelchair and pushchair users a stable, level path to the key equipment.

Practical Info

A barbecue, picnic tables and seating are on site, with a gazebo giving some shade over the picnic area. On street parking is available. Whanganui District Council operates a smokefree policy over the playground.
