Wonderful playground for kids, and perhaps adults as well. We visited during winter time, but still enjoyable although it's wet because of the overnight rain. It has a paddling pool, which should be open during summer months. The playground is within walking distance from a beautiful beach, library, and a Countdown supermarket. So everything needed for children must be there. Will visit again.

The New Brighton Beachside Playground sits on Marine Parade between He Puna Taimoana and the Pacific dunes, designed with local schools and community input as a wet-and-dry destination playground. It features a wheelchair-accessible splash pad with a 600kg ‘whale’ centrepiece (a clone of the iconic original), water cannons, a large climbable waka, rope climbing frame, swings, slides, accessible carousel, musical play and a motion spinner. The seafront setting, He Puna Taimoana hot pools and the Pegasus Bay walk lie a few steps away.

Nice playground, best suited for summer months as a bunch of the activities are water based, which limits some of the playability of this location. Still, lots of fun to be had, and only a few steps away from the beach.
