Campbell Bay Reserve Playground

About this playground

One of the many coastal playgrounds dotting the North Shore, this spot delivers that signature stunning waterfront scenery the area is known for. The playground itself is on the smaller side with a modest selection of equipment, but it is well set up for toddlers with a good sandpit and sand play facilities. A spacious open field sits alongside, making it great for a game of frisbee. Being right by the beach, public restrooms are conveniently available — though a water fountain was nowhere to be found. Despite its size, it has a lot going for it: dedicated parking makes access easy, and it rarely feels crowded even on weekends. Older kids will enjoy the monkey bars, and when the playground loses its charm, there is a fun little adventure waiting across the road — spotting five penguin sculptures dotted along the waterfront path.
