1 / 2Ridge Park
📍 Long Bay, Auckland
Ridge Park in Long Bay combines climbing slides, water-play features, and flat sealed paths ideal for scooters and bikes. Clean toilets and ample parking sit right alongside the playground.
Great park with all the facilities you want. Playground, water, bike track and seats for picnics. Lots of parking too. Can spend a good day there with kids.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A solid all-rounder best suited for children aged five and up who can tackle the climbing wall and manage unharness swings independently. Parents with children who enjoy scooting or biking will get extra mileage from the smooth looping path — it is one of the better sealed circuits in the area.

“One of our regular haunts at the moment with a mix of easy to challenging activities for toddlers. The swings have no harness so not suitable for younger toddlers but the slides are safe and interesting, with an excellent hill to climb to get up there, complete with climbing-wall holds to assist little feet and hands. There's a waterfall feature which can be fun if you can be bothered spending the time to fill up the reservoir. The wooden beams and stepping poles appear to be surprisingly enjoyable. Car parks and toilets right next to it.”

“Great open space to escape the confines of cabin fever 😁. Nice flat paths for the kids to scoot and a playground to enjoy”

“Park is okay - the toddler area has swings that are too big and don’t have the safety belt. The slide is on the little hill Which is a little hard for kids to climb. Probably a better playground for older kids around 5+ not bad just not amazing either. The other sad part is the bike pump track is gone :(”

Overview
Ridge Park features a multi-level climbing structure with slides that use a hill-climb wall to reach the top, a waterfall channel you can fill yourself, wooden beam and stepping-pole balancing elements, and flat sealed paths looping around the park. Toilets and car parks are directly adjacent. The swings are full-sized without waist harnesses, so younger toddlers need a hand getting on and off. The sealed paths are a favourite for scooters and bikes.
