Nice playground, good slides. Need to be careful with gate doesn’t always close. One of the best parts is the ducks in the pond next to the playground.

Why these ages?
Themed Village Yard play with tank-stand slide, inclusive basket swing, wooden ramps and moving steps; character and low-height suits toddlers. Duck pond adjacent so water is a real hazard, mitigated by a gated fence around the play area (though one reviewer notes the gate can be left open). Bark surface, prams accommodated.
Accessibility
Partial access+ Supportive swing seat (high-back, basket or nest)+ Step-free path to the play- Bark or wood-chip surface (wheels sink)
Access notes
The description says paths through the Village Yard are suitable for prams and wheelchairs and highlights an inclusive basket swing, but it also states the fall zone is bark, which limits access onto the play equipment itself.
What's here
Stonebrook Park playground in Rolleston is built around a Village Yard theme, with a woolshed, sheep yards and a tank stand that doubles as the tower for the main slide, giving it more character than a typical neighbourhood play space.
