Why go?

Have a whale of a time!

Set beside the sea, New Brighton Beachside Playground blends water play, creative equipment, and ocean views into one lively spot for families. It’s packed with features to keep kids engaged, from a splash pad and trampolines to a giant waka to climb. With the beach and pier just steps away, nearby cafés and shops, and plenty of space to sit and stay awhile, it’s an easy place to spend a whole morning or afternoon by the coast. Directly across the street is the New Brighton outdoor mall, which includes a fish and chip shop, pizza place, Subway, and a supermarket.

Good to know

Before you go.

Café nearby

With the beach and pier just steps away, nearby cafés and shops, and plenty of space to sit and stay awhile, it’s an easy place to spend a whole morning or afternoon by the coast.

Finding the toilets

Toilets are located right next to the playground, with additional facilities inside the library building just beside the café.

Worth finding

At the centre of the playground is a large wooden waka that children can climb on, crawl through, and use as the base for imaginative adventures.
