1 / 2Broad Park
đ Waimairi Beach, Canterbury
Broad Park sits at the front of Waimairi Beach in Christchurch with two fort structures, swings, slides, and a flying fox. Toilets and cold showers are available on site. Parking is directly adjacent to the park and beach.
I held a duathlon at Broad Park: A Quickie on the Beach. It's such a great public place, the kids love the playground, the beach is just over the sand dune and there is a fantastic track leading North which borders the shoreline and Bottle Lake Forest Park - great for biking and walking/running.
đ Family Action Verdict
Reviewers praise the combination of twin fort structures, flying fox, and direct beach access. The park's clean condition and handy parking are repeatedly highlighted. Families visiting Waimairi Beach treat the park as a natural extension of a beach day.

âSheltered park with beach access. Two forts, swings, slides, and flying fox. More suitable for kids 4+. Plenty of parking around. There's a cafe nearby and the day we went a Mr Whippy van was parked up in the car park near the public toilets and drinking fountain.â

âWaimairi beach has a great park at the front, the beach is beautiful, it can get busy, even though we went in the middle of winter. The Mr Whippy ice cream truck tends to park out in the carpark. Not much parking in the carpark, but plenty on the side of the road.â

âThere is very clearly marked freedom camping by the children's park/park run. Great location with beach access and toilets.â
