Roam App showed us this spot for water play and it was awesome. Some great established trees surrounding the play spaces.
Wainoni Park
Churchouse Road, Greenhithe, Auckland 0632
Why these ages?
Compact suburban play with two infant swings, bowl rockers, wide slide, spinner and a fountain-style water play area — reviewer confirms 'kids of all ages enjoy playing in the water feature with fountains'. Set within a large green space with sports fields and a restored (small) stream — a suburban stream not a wide river. Solid toddler/preschool fit; older kids will find it small.
Access notes
Description explicitly states a mobility car park sits close to the playground and water play area, but the surface material and path to the equipment are not described, and no accessible toilet or transfer equipment is mentioned.
What's here
Wainoni Park in Greenhithe pairs a compact playground with a restored stream and edible gardens tended by residents, on Auckland's North Shore, and community volunteers are as much a part of its story as the equipment.
