1 / 3Coyle Park Playground
📍 Point Chevalier, Auckland
Coyle Park Playground at Point Chevalier Road features slides, a mini push train, climbing structures, and shaded picnic tables alongside beach access. Free entry.
Very busy playground. This park is probably best known for its playground but there’s also beach access and a huge area of grass suitable for picnics, running around and ball games. The playground is wheelchair accessible and it also has a special area for preschoolers with a low level platform for kids to walk around and interactive boards at various points e.g. a music board. There’s a spiders’ web (spacenet) for climbing, a flying fox and train. The latter is people powered and requires kids or willing adults to push it along the track. Parents will need to pay attention especially with preschoolers as the train gathers quite a lot of speed! There are toilets within the park. Cafes are plentiful along Point Chevallier Road (including some that sell scoop ice cream).
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Families praise the combination of playground and beach access as making this a full half-day destination. The push train is a favourite for toddlers, while older children use the slides and climbing structures. The shaded picnic tables make extended visits comfortable.

“Lovely playground right next to the Point Chev beach. There is the usual playground, lots of slices, a mini push train and a flying fox too which the adults can enjoy too. Quite safe and a huge grassy area as well for other games”

“I love the access and little walk from the beach up to the park. It's a gorgeous place to spend the late afternoon/sunset. The walking tracks are peaceful and lovely. A decent kids playground too.”
