Crawshaw is a compact suburb, close to Te Rapa railway depot, in western Hamilton in New Zealand,[3] and extended in the 2018 census to cover 0.86 km2 (210 acres).[4] Although sometimes referred to as a suburb in its own right,[5] it is often described as being part of Nawton.[6][7][8]

The southern part of the suburb was developed about 1913,[9][10] but the northern in the 1960s[11] and 1970s.[12] Housing New Zealand properties, tenanted by low income families have been reported to make up a majority of homes.[13]

Crawshaw Park was created between 1979 and 1985. It covers 3.1 ha (7.7 acres), includes some remnant kahikateas and forms a link in a green chain through Mooney Park, Bishops Lane Reserve, Crawshaw Park and Dominion Park.[14]
