1 / 3Dixon Park Playground
đ Greymouth, West Coast
Best for a picnic stop with toddlers in Greymouth. Dixon Park has a covered, fenced play area for little ones, a bigger playground, a shallow paddling pool in summer, shade trees, picnic tables and free electric barbecues near the town centre.
Great little park with playground in Greymouth. Has a small shallow pool area along with a covered playground for younger children. Good spot to stop with antsy kids if you're driving along the West Coast highway
đ Family Action Verdict
A useful, free stop for families passing through Greymouth, especially with toddlers: the fenced area and paddling pool buy you a calm half hour. Keep small children away from the creek, expect well-used rather than new equipment, and plan a toilet stop elsewhere if you can.

âReally great playground to stop at as we passed through Greymouth. Covered, fenced playground for toddlers and mix of covered and open spots for eating. Good sized playground with mix of stuff for all ages.â
Timothy Mora
âGreat community playground with lots of equipment and green spaces, trees and shade. Just be aware of the creek with small children.â
Nat B.
âGreat weather today. Facilities were in working condition, clean and kids loved them. There for child's bday party, was perfect. Few more tables and more seating would be lovely. Toilets hard to find and a wee hill up to them. Toilets were not in clean condition. Rather horrible.â

Overview
Dixon Park is Greymouth's town playground, on Tainui Street a few minutes from the centre. A covered and fenced section keeps toddlers contained, with swings including parent-and-baby seats, while a larger playground handles older kids. The shallow paddling pool is a summer favourite, there are picnic tables, free electric barbecues, shade trees, ducks and a creek to watch. Reviews note the equipment is showing its age and the toilets are up a rise and not always clean.
