Playgrounds
Whangarei has 36 playgrounds for children and young people which are spread throughout the city and in selected locations around the district. We also have 4 skateboard parks. We are working towards having a playground within 500 metres of any resident within the city.
Our playgrounds are maintained to a high standard and achieved 99% compliance against the national standards during the last audit, the highest in the country.
There is a destination playground located in the Town Basin which has separate junior and senior areas as well as a Liberty swing for people in wheelchairs. The key for the Liberty swing can be obtained from the Information Desk at the nearby Clapham’s Clock Museum.
The location of these playgrounds and skateboard parks is shown on the map below. Click on any of the icons to see the location and a short description of the equipment provided.
If you notice parks or playgrounds in need of repair or attention, please contact us.
