Why these ages?

Coastal waterfront reserve with 7.9m lighthouse tower (fall potential) and Devonport Beach adjacent (drowning risk). Toddler equipment exists (crawl tunnel, basket swing, spring rocker) but open reserve layout means water is nearby without fencing - parents must supervise. Older kids get climbing, slides, big frame.

Accessibility

Partial access

+ Supportive swing seat (high-back, basket or nest)- Grass-only approach (no path)

Access notes

Description explicitly names an accessible basket swing within the three bay swing set, a transfer in seat rather than a swing the chair rolls onto. The play area connects to the reserve via wide grass paths rather than a formed path, a barrier for wheels even though the flat layout is described as easy to navigate.

Windsor Reserve is Devonport's waterfront common, a wide grassy field running from the village shops down to the ferry terminal, with a coastal themed play area tucked at one end. A 7.9 metre tower modelled on the historic Bean Rock Lighthouse anchors the space, and the range of equipment around it suits toddlers through to around age twelve.

Magic spot in the heart of Auckland city. A pier, a beach, shorewalk, shade under ancient old trees and lots of eateries. Great library across the road. Plus the stroll through the mainstreet is just lovely. Little galleries, jewelery shops, little surprises everywhere. My favorite part of Auckland.

The hike wasn't too tough. The views from the top are amazing, totally worth it. They even have an old WWII cannon up there. It's a really cool piece of history. Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

Excellent little reserve to take the kids for a day out. While not listed exclusively, the playground here is very nice for both bigger and smaller children, it is mostly under the coverage of trees so accompanying adults have a place to …

Took the ferry across to Devonport before Anzac Day and had a lovely lunch on the esplanade. Poignant time of contemplation visiting the Devonport dawn Anzac preparations. My father joined the air force and fought in both the second world war and the Korean war. We have so much to be thankful for in the freedoms they were willing to give their lives for for the preservation of our Western way of life
