“Excellent playground for all ages, with plenty of seating and sun covers. Really new equipment too. Free on-street parking right beside the park. There are no public facilities here, the nearest public toilet is at the Khandalla Shops.”

“Awesome play area for kids with nice views... close to both Ngaio and Khandhalla..no public toilet close by. Closest with 3-4min drive.”

“Recently upgraded by the council. 4yo has rated it "really fun, would play again". Incorporation of some shade sails, a covered picnic table and inclusive play equipment are great. They put in a reimagined helicopter which is not quite as awesome to play on as the old one, which is a shame. The steep tunnel slide was also replaced.”

Overview

Nairnville Park Playground received a council upgrade that retained the beloved pipework helicopter and fire engine structures while adding shade sails, a covered picnic table, a reimagined inclusive climbing frame, and a new smooth-spinning roundabout that keeps going on a single push. An enclosed hill slide adds elevation interest. Free on-street parking is directly beside the park. The nearest public toilets are a short drive to Khandallah Shops.
