Jellie Park Playground is a public playground at 295 Ilam Road in Burnside, Christchurch, rated 4.5 from 11 Google reviews. It sits in a large sports park beside the Jellie Park swimming pool, and reviewers describe it as suited to children from about 3 to 10. Public toilets are close by. Reviewers praise the swings, but one said the playground is worn and not well kept, and another saw a maintenance van at work. Opening hours and booking do not apply, as it is a public park.
Busy playgrounds beside pools and sports grounds can show wear faster, so check the swings, slides and rubber surfaces before children play. Keep an eye on the chains and the ground under swings, and tell the council about any damage you see. Parents often pair a playground visit with a swim, so bring spare clothes and towels. Regulars tend to visit during the quieter weekday hours.
Jellie Park Playground suits Burnside families with children aged about 3 to 10 who want a playground beside the pool.
