1 / 3Cashmere Playground
📍 Cashmere, Canterbury
Cashmere Playground is one of Christchurch's few fully enclosed playgrounds, with a large blue slide, swings, monkey bars, and a maze. A café is a one-minute walk away. Flat surrounds suit bikes and scooters.
Brilliant playground! Fully fenced and safe. Most people dont know thi, but dogs actually aren't allowed in this park. As the animal control by laws states, dogs aren't to be within 2 meters of a playground, and the whole place is a playground. Massive big slide with climbing rocks and stairs and also smaller slides for little ones. Public toilet and picnic tables with grass hills to run on. Real fruit ice cream often available across the road at the beautiful cashmere riverbank. Highly recommended on a nice day with the kids. Bins provided, so please remind your children to keep the park litter free, or parents should pick up after them for our future generations to enjoy the park for years to come.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Reviewers highlight the full enclosure as a standout feature for families with young children and toddlers who need a contained space. The large blue slide is repeatedly mentioned as the main draw, and the nearby café is noted as a practical bonus for parents.

“The playground's main attraction is the big blue slide on the side. Though it also has swings, monkey bars, a maze, and a few others, too. The kids would love to ride their bike or scooter here. The space may be small, but they might enjoy the inclined trail in the middle (especially for those wee ones looking for adventure).”

“One of the very few completely enclosed playgrounds around Christchurch. Very good for young and old children alike. 1 min walk to a cafe so someone can pop down to grab some takeaway coffees to sip on whilst watching the kids.”
