Devonport Playground is a public playground at 2 Victoria Rd, Devonport, on Auckland's North Shore. It has a Google rating of 4.7 from 18 reviews, and visitors mention long climbing structures that keep children busy, plenty of room to run around and views of the scenery.
A good local playground suits a mix of ages, so it helps to look for separate areas for toddlers and older children before you go. Shade and water matter most on warm days, so a hat, sunscreen and a drink for each child are worth packing. Parks near water often attract more people at weekends, so arriving early can give you the quieter spots and the best pick of equipment. Regulars tend to plan a break nearby, since the nearest cafés and shops make it easy to combine a playground visit with a treat.
For a family outing in Devonport, this playground sits close to the beach and the village, so it is easy to make a half day of it.
