Child and Youth Friendly Christchurch/ Ōtautahi has been working on the development of an accessible playground for several years.
Halswell Domain was chosen for this project because it has accessible toilets. The playground has a swing and a roundabout that are suitable for wheelchair users, as well as accessible bongo drums and a play shop panel. The flooring is also accessible to allow good wheelchair access.
The project was made possible through the support of the Christchurch City Council (CCC) Parks and Recreation team plus funding from The Rātā Foundation, CCC Metropolitan Fund and Halswell Community Board.
