Milford Reserve Playground

Milford

A small, toddler-focused spot right beside Milford Beach — and a lovely one at that. Simple gear, sandy ground, a bit of shade, best suited to the under-fives. The beachfront setting makes it feel special though, with great views and easy access to the water. Toilets and showers nearby are well maintained. Parking is generally fine.

Shade

Monarch Park Playground

Hillcrest

A relaxed, spacious playground within a lovely park setting. There's a duck pond, a mini library, and a good mix of equipment — bigger slides and monkey bars for older kids, smaller features for the toddlers. The overall vibe is safe and pleasant. The setting is slightly secluded, so just worth being a bit more aware in the evening.

Shade

Montgomery Reserve Playground

Devonport

My kids love this one. The ship-themed design gets them every time. It's large and was freshly renovated — still in great shape as of April 2026 — with a toddler area and pram and wheelchair-friendly surfaces throughout. The open grassy areas alongside are perfect for a game of frisbee or a relaxed picnic. Parking is easy along Montgomery Avenue and Wicklow Road.

Onepoto Domain playground

Northcote

Set within the wide-open Onepoto Domain, this one is great for kids who are just as happy on a bike or scooter as they are on the equipment. There are two separate play areas, including a shaded toddler section. The gear is a little older, but a small flying fox keeps things fun. The surrounding park and walking trails add a lot to the visit. Parking within the domain is easy.

Potters Park Playground

Takapuna

A peaceful little escape in the middle of a busy urban neighbourhood. Beautiful gardens, mature trees, and a decent open space make it a nice change of pace. The equipment is more toddler-friendly — rope nets and simple structures — so older kids might need more room to stretch. The big bonus here is the café and restaurant scene right nearby. Being a central spot, just worth keeping an eye on who's around. Parking can be limited.

Takapuna Beach Reserve Playground

Takapuna

One of the most popular playgrounds on the North Shore, and it's easy to see why. The three-level slide is a favourite with the kids — mine went down it about fifteen times. There's a good range of equipment, a toddler area, picnic spots, and direct beach access, plus a fun rotating viewing structure that's a bit different. Toilets, showers, and drinking fountains are all close by, and Takapuna Library is just up the road. Parking is available but fills up fast on weekends, and it's not the cheapest.
