Mornington Park
162 Eglinton Road, Mornington, Dunedin 9016
Why these ages?
Description explicitly says the playground is scaled for toddlers and young children, with infant swing and low platforms doing most of the work. Rocktopus, see-saw and climbing frame with slide add primary appeal. The adjacent skate park is a real hazard for a wandering 2-4yo but it is next door, not intermixed, and the playground is the closer draw for toddler families. Tweens will lean towards the skate park side.
Access notes
The playground sits on a hillside site with only on street parking on Eglinton Road as the easiest way in, suggesting a steep approach, though a disabled accessible toilet is provided on site.
