Why these ages?

Fenced junior area explicitly designed to keep toddlers contained while older siblings roam - reviewers back this up ('all fenced off, great place for the little ones'). Full range of equipment: infant swing, seesaw, ship-with-slide, junior train, climbing net, basket swing and senior climbing structure. Adjacent water park is a hazard for un-fenced spots but the junior enclosure mitigates it. Tweens less catered for.

Accessibility

Partial access

+ Artificial turf surface (firmer than bark)+ Step-free path to the play

Enjoyable park for the family. My grown up children and grandchildren had a blast. Riding bikes and scooters jumping onto the playground a couple of see saws and swings. A barbecue is available if you want to have a good cooked meal. It is also has right next to it a big playing field to kick around balls or have running races😀

We love parks so much and exploring the Hastings playground is one of our favourite things to do. Lion's Community Park is clean like any other NZ parks we have been. We like the train like obstacle, the slide, the swing and the see saw …

Our family loved the quick break in our day really enjoyed what was available. The amenities were great and the great Hawkes bay weather just added more value to the experience. Not the biggest park but what was available was very functional. I Recommend this place for a great time out for the kids.

Nice little spot, couple of bbq's and picnic tables. Doesn't see too much use, so you're likely to get a spot for your family to yourselves. Heaps of shade, simple playground, smooth path around it for scooters.
