Why these ages?

Balance Park explicitly built for confident school-aged children with in-ground trampolines, balance beam and balls — no toddler-specific equipment. Water play feature is a hit with older kids. Adjacent to Town Basin harbour with no fencing signal. Excellent shade structure. Good child/tween destination in wider precinct.

Accessibility

Partial access

+ Step-free path to the play

Access notes

The Balance Park equipment sits together on a smooth artificial surface rather than bark, explicitly described as such. On street parking and public toilets are on site, but no accessible parking bay or accessible toilet is specifically mentioned.

Awesome addition to the Town Basin. So many place to stay and linger for young and old. The water feature seems a real hit with the kids. Lots of places to picnic while the kids play before heading to the Hundertwasser Museum, Town Basin shops or restaurants, Children's Park, Clapham Clocks, or view all the sculptures around the Hatea Loop walk just to name some of the attractions. Good paths for prams and wheelchairs. Public toilets.

A great park for kids, especially on a hot day, with the water play. Best public toilets in town. My favorite time is when the the night canopy food market is on!
