Why these ages?

Fully fenced play area with toddler swings, slides, tunnels and climbing frames — reviewer says 'great playground for little ones, very popular because of it'. Community skate park sits next door but the fence separates it from the toddler zone. Grass soccer field alongside plus harbour views and community garden. Adjoining rebuilt (2018) skate park with new bowl and ramps is a great tween draw.

Good to know

HistoryThe $375,000 Oxford Street Reserve upgrade that renewed Lyttelton's playground and skate park also repaired earthquake-damaged heritage retaining walls that originally formed part of the Lyttelton Gaol, opened in 1851; the skate-park redesign became necessary when engineering works required demolishing half of the existing skate features.

HistoryLyttelton's skate park was designed by Campbell Johnson and built by Nelson Creek Skateboards, with Bluff-based shipping company South Port contributing a donation towards the rebuild given its long working relationship with Lyttelton Port Company.

On siteLyttelton's Oxford Street Reserve skate park was revamped and reopened on 26 February 2018 with a new bowl, quarter pipe, ramps, rails and edges, designed for beginner to intermediate skateboarders, complemented by colourful new murals.

What an amazing playground, got lots of character and some truly amazing views. The equipment here is a tad old but all perfectly functional, there is a massive soccer field just a step down from the playground itself, great for kicking balls and running around. If your kid is into skating there is also a skatepark next to the playground also, great place to burn some energy with the kids.
