Thompson Crescent Playground

Thompson Crescent Playground is a modern, feature rich neighbourhood playground in Whakatane, installed relatively recently on an artificial turf surface.

Equipment

Equipment includes a wobbly bridge, see-saws, swings with an infant seat, an embankment slide, a basket swing, an accessible carousel, a bowl rocker, and a half basketball court. The Whakatane District Council asset register confirms a climbing frame, playground, see-saw, and swing at this site.

Access and Inclusion

The accessible carousel stands out among Whakatane's neighbourhood playgrounds, making the site more welcoming for children with mobility needs, alongside the infant and basket swings for younger visitors.

Practical Info

A drinking fountain and picnic tables are on site, with on street parking on Thompson Crescent. Shade sails cover much of the play equipment.
