8 Dalton Street, Outer Kaiti, Gisborne 4010
Medium neighbourhood park with swings (incl. accessibility swing), a multi-play with slide 'suited to young children', see-saw, rotonet, half basketball court. Stream runs through the back of the reserve (water risk at some distance from the play area). Not fenced, no shade. Toddler-scaled equipment exists but the setting isn't a genuine let-them-loose spot.
The description explicitly names an accessibility swing among the equipment, a genuine transfer friendly feature, but also states the play area has a bark surfaced base, which is a hard blocker for wheelchair wheels despite that swing.
Waikirikiri Park is a medium sized neighbourhood playground on Dalton Street in Outer Kaiti, Gisborne, with swings including an accessibility swing, a multi-play structure with a slide for young children, a see saw, a rotonet climbing net and a half basketball court. It suits a wide age range and was rebuilt through a community led design process.
HistoryPlayground established: 2015.
Source: services1.arcgis.comCultureWaikirikiri Park playground redevelopment involved extensive community engagement led by Ka Pai Kaiti in partnership with Gisborne District Council. Over 400 survey responses were collected and school consultation was held at Te Wharau School, Kaiti School, and Te Kura Reo Rua o Waikirikiri. The community selected a new design through voting; the plan includes pou/whakairo carvings and murals to tell the park's cultural history.
