Nestled in the scenic beauty of Hanley’s Farm, this new adventure playground at Howden Park offers more than just a place to play—it’s a vibrant space designed for community connection and discovery. With stunning views of The Remarkables and Coronet Peak, the playground is a standout feature for residents and visitors alike.
A Thoughtful Design for All Ages
Designed by Park Central, this unique playground provides a range of play experiences for children of all ages and abilities. Whether it’s the oversized seesaws, hidden ice caves, hammock circle for stargazing, or the DOC-inspired hut, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Climbing structures, themed slides, tunnels, swings, a rope bridge, and a wheelchair-accessible inclusive carousel ensure that the playground is accessible and fun for everyone.
The design, inspired by the surrounding natural environment, incorporates Queenstown’s glacial landforms, reflected in the sloping terrain and natural tones of the play equipment. From the moment you step into the playground, you’ll find elements that encourage exploration and spark the imagination, revealing new surprises at every turn.
A Community-Focused Space
The playground sits at the heart of a new park, surrounded by BBQ facilities, seating, and shaded areas—perfect for a family day out. Designed by Blakely Wallace Associates and brought to life by a talented team that includes Stantec for civil engineering and Whitestone Contracting for construction, the space is a true testament to thoughtful, community-driven design.
Whether you’re a local resident or just visiting, Hanley’s Farm playground promises hours of fun and adventure. It’s a place where children can explore, learn, and grow, while parents and caregivers relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. This new addition to the Hanley’s Farm community is sure to become a favourite spot for families to gather, play, and create lasting memories.
