Windsor Park
Parkvale, Hastings 4122
Why these ages?
Fenced junior zone with pirate ship, toddler train, infant + basket swings is a genuine let-them-loose environment for 2-4yos. Multi-play climb structure, rope net and seesaws outside the fence cater to primary schoolers. Adjacent water park is a separate facility, not on site, so water risk is nearby but not underfoot. Tweens have less to hold their attention.
What's here
Windsor Park's playground in the Parkvale neighbourhood is one of Hastings' larger builds, with a fenced junior area that keeps toddlers well away from the senior climbing structure and rope net next door. It suits a wide age range in the same visit, from a pirate ship and toddler train inside the fence to a full climbing net and rocker outside it.
