winton road reserve, ashburton
/Mamma’s little ones have developed a finely curated playground wishlist over the years. It includes: a cafe play area; giant tunnel slide; the coveted face-to-face expression swing; room to ride a bike; close proximity to hot chippies.
Well, Winton Road Reserve in Ashburton delivers all of these and more, in spades!
Recently renovated and perfectly positioned next to the Gardiner’s Creek bike trail, this nature-inspired beauty of a park will have your little ones occupied for hours and begging to come back time and time again.
The playground ticks off all of the classics: great slides, lots of options for climbing, space to roam and swings galore, but also includes some unique features which make a visit here one to remember. The jewel of this park is its generous ‘Winton Shop’, complete with play cash register, servery, benches and windows. Mamma’s little ones love using this place to set up their dream cafe, occupying every corner of this imaginative space to run their highly successful enterprise.
Mamma especially loves all of the natural elements that give this park such a warm, inviting feel. From the log-style see-saw, to the timber-carved statues of native animals, to the wooden leaves on the climbing stalks, this park feels oh-so-inviting and perfectly matches the bushy surrounds of this leafy pocket of the East.
The park includes ample undercover seating and a paved path which is perfect for bikes and scooters, so grab the little ones and their helmets and check out this Ashburton gem soon.
