★4.4(84 Google reviews)💰FreeđŸ‘ļAll ages

A well-equipped Dunedin playground on a hillside with a wide slide, flying fox, see-saw, and two swing sets including toddler swings. Flower gardens add colour, and the uphill walk gives the visit a sense of adventure.

★★★★★Featured review by Sharon Eveni

It's a good playground for them fit kids and parents. This being as it's uphill but it was awesome to watch my son enjoy himself on the massive slide. Will definitely be returning

🏆 Family Action Verdict

A rewarding community playground for families prepared for the uphill approach. The wide slide draws kids back repeatedly, and the toddler swings mean younger siblings are catered for too. Bring snacks and plan a toilet stop beforehand — facilities are not available on site.

💡Expect an uphill walk to reach the playground — comfortable shoes recommended
⏰No public toilets on site — plan ahead
đŸŽŸī¸Check flying fox status before visiting as availability varies
🚗Toddler and baby swings available alongside standard swings

Overview

Arthur Street Playground sits in central Dunedin at 30 Arthur Street, reached by a short uphill walk that rewards families with varied equipment and pleasant surrounds. The wide slide is a clear hit with children, and the swing sets include a baby and toddler option. A see-saw and flying fox (check current status before visiting) round out the equipment. Nice flowering gardens add colour through the grounds. Free entry, outdoor, pram access. No public toilets on site.
