Northcote Playground

Northcote Playground on Cadness Street is a small playground in Northcote on Auckland's North Shore, opened within the last five years and paired with a half basketball court that gives it a livelier, more active feel than most neighbourhood sites.

Equipment

A cantilever swing set, a climbing net, balance logs, and a bowl rocker cover the physical play, with a slide suited to younger children rounding out the mix. The half basketball court is the standout, extending the site's appeal into the pre-teen and teen years. Bark chip covers the play surface.

Practical Info

A barbecue, a drinking fountain, picnic tables, and seating make this a genuine spot for a family meal alongside play, and on-street parking on Cadness Street serves the surrounding streets. The playground sits within Auckland Council's Kaipatiki area of the North Shore.
