1 / 3Thompson Park Playground
📍 Mount Wellington, Auckland
Thompson Park Playground in Mount Wellington is a free outdoor playground with separate play zones for different age groups, adult fitness equipment, and two football-sized open fields.
Great little park, just off 2 football size fields. Heaps of room to run and play. The playground itself is really well constructed, and has areas for young and older children. The swings are really neat, as they are arranged in a big circle so you can see the other people swinging. There is a toilet block nearby for the sport area, and has plenty of parking.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Reviewers praise the well-built equipment and the thoughtful separation of play zones by age, meaning younger and older children can both find the right level of challenge. The dual full-sized football fields alongside the playground give older kids space to kick a ball while littler ones use the climbing frames — a setup parents call genuinely.

“What a great playground. Sections for kids of different ages and fitness equipment for adults too. Some of the things are quite challenging for the little ones, so there's plenty of chances for them to learn and experiment. Wonderful.”

“Excellent playground with nested in a quite neighbourhood in Mt Wellington. Lots of open space and fields and the playground itself is considerable in size. In general, a very good vibe. Good - equipment feels new and lots of interesting things to do for kids of all ages. Big car park, toilets nearby and very accessible. Safe, no cars or roads around so don’t have to worry about smaller kids. Bad - no shade, killer in the sun, and no shops nearby to get food or drinks if you’re overstaying your playtime.”
