1 / 3McBride Park Playground
📍 Lake Hayes Estate, Otago
McBride Park Playground in Lake Hayes Estate offers well-equipped play structures, BBQ facilities, water fountains, and the area's cleanest public toilets — all within easy reach of nearby shops and a café.
Nice playground. When the children are out of nappies-the slide becomes less favourite, as bumpy, and they feel it when sliding down. Not everyone is bothered by it, though. The new improvements and recently built fort is great, wooden surfaces can be slippery when wet or frosty
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A well-rounded community park that suits families with children of all ages. The BBQ facilities and clean toilets make it comfortable for extended visits, and the recently built fort is a genuine draw for energetic climbers. Wooden surfaces can become slippery in wet or frosty conditions — dry days are the most enjoyable.

“Great park and a perfect place to hide bodies! Surprisingly easy to bury them under the gravel on the playground. Looks like the sandpit just got a new and exciting surprise, have fun kids!”
