Masham Reserve Playground is a playground in Broomfield, Christchurch 8042, rated 4.4 from 5 Google reviews. Reviewers say it suits both preschool and primary-age children, with swings and slides, and that children on the swings can watch the traffic on Carmen Road go past.
A suburban playground beside a busy road is judged on its fencing and on how well children are kept clear of traffic. Swings and slides with a view of passing vehicles can hold a child's attention, but adults should stay close. Playgrounds that suit a mix of ages usually separate the equipment by height, so older children and toddlers have their own areas. Feeding birds is best done with food suited to them, so check before you bring bread.
For a swing with a view of the traffic in Broomfield, Masham Reserve Playground is worth a visit.
