1 / 3Howick Domain Playground
📍 Howick, Auckland
Howick Domain Playground in Howick features recently upgraded obstacle course-style equipment suited to primary-aged children. The domain also includes a small adult outdoor gym, full-sized football and rugby fields, and a public hard-ground tennis.
With the improvements made on the playground recently this is such a joy to visit. With plenty for the kids to do, they could literally stay here all day if it was up to them. There is a great variety for all ages. My kids aged 18mths and 4 years love this place!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Reviewers praise the recent upgrades to the obstacle course equipment, which they say elevates the playground above standard fare. Kids are described as staying all day given the variety across the obstacle course, swings, and open sports fields.

“We took our 10mo old there and there is a tunnel, swing and those spring rockers babies can play on, the rest is more for bigger kids. The playground isnt sheltered which is a huge pity! There is a big field next door - great to running around, kicking a ball etc. There are also a couple free tennis courts, BYO racket and balls.”
