Cornwall Park Playground

great place. very open roomy safe recently upgraded fun multi cultured setting with lots of activities for kids to play on the massive jungle gym and get soaked in the summer sun on the press play-to-play" movement activated custom water features and fountains also

The water play area is great in summer! So many laughs

Well the new playground is in and it is for the most part a great improvement over the dated old equipment. The bigger kids playground is well set up , though the water feature does tend to drift some mist over to the nearby equipment. Not to worry, it's just water.Moving over to the toddlers playground though, this is where things get weird.We start off with the yellow wheel. What is that.. wheel of fortune? but there's no clicker, it just spins. $70 $80 or $90. 40 50 or 60... spins? 10 20 or 30 sad faces? Are these points? Weird.Then we move on to the next spinny wheel thing. It's a marble game, that with some work I can finish, but I'm a 38 year old man. There's no way a toddler even has the dexterity to move this wheel fast enough get the marble in the right place, let alone the strength. The thing is HEAVY. Which means when a larger kid comes by, he can get that thing spinning REALLY fast. So now it's a spinning at 10000RPM, with those knobs that stick out I foresee some broken little fingers in it someone's unfortunate future.Ok cool, so the wheel things are a bust. How about some puzzles. There's one with animals on the pieces, but .. you can't get some of them to stay where they should due to that physics pesky thing.. what's it called again? Oh yeah.. Gravity!There's one with some.. flowery? shapes. These have little cutouts that... also don't withstand the relentless forces of gravity, so it's impossible to complete the puzzle without having 4 arms to hold each piece in. My mini people found this most frustrating.Ok lets try something in a different area. What about these neat wheel things that stick out of the ground like flowers. One has a bee on it an makes a cute little clinking noise as it spins. My 1 year old LOVES this. I, on the other hand, do not LOVE this. These are inexplicably mounted with their centers about 1 meter off the ground?!? My little person at full stretch can't even reach the bottom of them. Guess who's left holding the baby.. LITERALLY.ok stuff the puzzles and brain games. What about some good old fashioned spinning around. There's the round about. wait.. Why is that mounted half a meter off the ground too! Kids flying off roundabouts is as kiwi as pies, so now in the toddlers area, this thing guarantee's the when the aforementioned unplanned ejection happens, there's a good drop to guarantee an upset child.Ok.. what about a swing. Miss 3 wants to go in the swings by the slides. Great. Miss 1 can't yet hold on to them.. ok where's the baby's swing.... <_< >_>Oh.. there they are. A mere 70 meters walk to .. what looks like some leftovers from the soviet era. The chains are so short that one push lasts about 4 swings. The center pole wobbles so much the kids were genuinely scared of the thing.So we're doing swings in shifts. I'm about to impose martial law and declare the swings unsafe if only to keep my step count below a million.. Miss 3 needs the bathroom. Right.. At least this part should be straight forward.Found the bathroom. It's clean and simple, albeit somewhat industrial in design. Done.. Wash hands... No soap dispencer. ok, water it is. Dry... nope.. no hand drying facility. Not empty, not broken, just .. not.That's a pretty strange omission I thought.Now, I don't want to sound like a whinger. It's definitely way better than the old one. The kids will successfully run themselves ragged, All in all it's a good spot..it's just.. weird.

A place full of laughter and history.... Beautiful flowers and children's playground. The Oriental gardens and duck pond are a great Asset to this area.

Beautiful park always take this kids to this park when in hastings. A mini zoo of birds and turtles and a glass house with beautiful flowers.

Kids had great fun at this playground that has plenty of equipment to challenge and explore. Water play area is perfect to cool them down in the summer heat. Handy public toilets nearby, benches and tables with seats, shady trees for a picnic or snooze.

Absolutely amazing. Has good shading thanks to the trees and the shades around the playground and seating area are everywhere ts convenient The treehouse slides are the best and safe I have ever seen . There's so much to entertain my 4 kids . Toilets are decent and of good quality was also clean . I almost forgot the water area was wicked . Good space. Highly recommend

We walked around the whole park taking our time sitting down here and there. You can do i believe 40min . We took our time just under 2hrs . Lovely clean toilets right by the play ground, which is a big play ground . Plenty of parking around the outside.

Awesome place to take kids but tiolets were messy and rarely available my toddler almost peed his pants but a newly renovated park with a splash pad to keep the kids cool on hot days
