Peat Street, Whanganui 4500
Two separate play areas by design — younger area has multi-play climbing structure, infant swing, rocker and spinner on artificial surface; older area has obstacle-course climbing frame. Layout physically separates toddlers from bigger kids. Deer paddock is fenced off. Suburban Peat Street setting, no water, arterial road or skate. Toddlers get dedicated equipment without mixing with the older frame.
Both play areas are set on an artificial surface per the description, giving a firm even base, and on street parking is available nearby. No accessible toilet or transfer piece is described, so full accessibility cannot be confirmed.
Peat Park in Aramoho, Whanganui, has two separate play areas so toddlers and older children each get equipment suited to them, set on an artificial surface with open grassed fields alongside for informal sport and kite flying.
HistoryPlayground established: pre 2010.
Source: services1.arcgis.comHistoryPeat Park was gifted to the children of Whanganui in 1911 by local benefactor David Peat, who believed local schools didn't give children enough room to play; the reserve at the base of Christie's Hill still centres on that original gift of open space.
