1 / 3Elwyn Crescent Playground
📍 Dunedin, Otago South
Elwyn Crescent Playground in Dunedin is known for its grass-covered sloped hill — a magnet for cardboard-box sliding — plus a small oval running track, traditional play equipment, and open green space for running around.
Beautiful playground. My son only wanted to go there for the sloped hill for cardboard sliding. We loved it so much that we will be going there again. Awesome place to hang out with the little ones.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
The sloped hill is the real drawcard — bring a cardboard box and the kids will entertain themselves for a long time. The oval track is a bonus for those with bikes or scooters, and the free entry makes it a reliable go-to.

Overview
Set in a quiet Dunedin neighbourhood, Elwyn Crescent Playground combines standard play equipment with a sloped grassy hill that kids use for cardboard sliding and rolling. A small paved oval track circles the outer edge, handy for bikes and scooters, and flowering plantings add colour to the surroundings. Entry is free and the space is pram-accessible, making it an easy drop-in on a sunny day.
