Why go?

Climb, play, and explore just steps from the beach

Broad Park is a coastal playground that brings together beach access, bold play equipment, and shady spots to unwind. With a flying fox, climbing challenges, grassy picnic areas, and the sea just a short walk away, it’s a great place to stretch out the day and let kids run wild. Shaded grassed areas under the trees also make a great spot to lay out a rug and take a break from the sun.

Dogs under effective control

Dogs are allowed in the area but must be kept under effective control at all times.

Toilets onsite

Toilets are available onsite, with one located near the playground and others facing the Waimairi Beach car park.

Onsite parking

Parking is easy, with spaces available both directly in front of the park and at the nearby beach car park.

Keep in mind

Some features may be challenging for younger children, so a bit of supervision and encouragement might be needed.

Worth finding

A clearly marked “beach access” path leads directly from the playground to the sand, making it easy to bounce between surf and play.
