Nice playground in good condition. Always ducks hanging around for young kids to feed. Good quality bark. Big tree in very close proximity for shade.
Robert Knox Memorial ParkPlayground
1 Knox Road, Swanson, Auckland 0612
Why these ages?
Junior area only partly fenced (Swanson Rd side) — parents still need supervision on unfenced sides. Infant swing, junior slide and flying fox suit toddlers and young kids; reviewers say 'best for 6 and under'. Limited tween appeal — older kids sent across road to Swanson Station park.
Access notes
The surface is bark per the description, a hard barrier for wheelchair users, corroborated by a review praising the good quality bark. On street parking is available, but no accessible toilet or firm path is mentioned.
