Parks in Wellington

“Fabulous park for kids and those who want to play outdoor games”

“Good deck. 129 runs (17 x 4’s; 5 x 6’s) - 2012”

“Fraser park is an old time favorite. With it's upgrades it brings new energy to the grounds. Completing their plan around the RFClub will only make it better.”

“Spicer botanical park is a very peaceful and nature park with a big range of walkway and mountain bike track. Also is dog friendly with on leash, a stream run through the park. Carpark beside the park.”

“What an amazing find. A mostly flat field with a collection of playground equipment, with the best view from a swing, ever! The field is surrounded by native bush, and the birds love it. Only downer is the lack of parking, but perhaps that is why it is so quiet. But don't go there is a southerly :)”

“Cool playground for older kids and there a water play area too. Also handy is the store selling crepes, ice cream and drinks on site so you can grab a bite while the kids play.”

“Lovely little park amidst urbanization.Great for a walk.”

“The greatest workout area in Wellington, on Sundays there's a huge group that shows up, and the ambient is fantastic. Great energy and great people, strong as hell and with amazing calisthenics trikcs”

“My grandchildren loves it here. Beautiful open corner park to play at, fresh air and sunshine on a good Welly day. The safety mats provides some safety assurance for those awkward landings or for the more adventurous. The park facilities maybe modest but it's enough to entertain the bored or tire that hypo child. And what are the odds, it's a few steps away from the Jville public kids pool.”

“Excellent playground for all ages, with plenty of seating and sun covers. Really new equipment too. Free on-street parking right beside the park. There are no public facilities here, the nearest public toilet is at the Khandalla Shops.”

“Football how it was meant to be watched. Take note, Steve Stadium.”

“Kilbirnie Park is a versatile and well-maintained green space in Wellington, perfect for both recreational activities and community events. The park boasts spacious fields that cater to a wide range of sports, including rugby, soccer, and cricket. These fields are regularly used by local clubs, schools, and casual players, making it a hub for sports enthusiasts of all ages. The park also includes an athletics track, which is ideal for runners and athletes looking to train. One of the standout features of Kilbirnie Park is its family-friendly environment. There’s a well-equipped playground that’s perfect for younger children, offering a safe and fun space for them to play. The park’s wide-open spaces also make it a great spot for picnics or leisurely walks. It’s dog-friendly, so many locals enjoy taking their pets for a stroll. The park’s location is very convenient, being close to Kilbirnie’s shopping area, bus routes, and other amenities. The nearby Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre is an added bonus for those looking to swim or relax after some outdoor activity. While the park is generally well-maintained, the fields can become a bit muddy during the rainy season. Overall, Kilbirnie Park is a fantastic community asset, offering something for everyone—whether you're there for sports, family time, or simply enjoying the outdoors.”

“Great, clean and well cared for dog exercise area. Well equipped with tap water, water bowl and doggie bags.”

“Great place for bring your kids to do some exercise, there are running area, playgrounds and even a maze! Clean n tidy area indeed.. lots of free parking area, clean toilet near the karori play center. But I think the maze area should be repainted. When blooming, really love to sit down in the bench under the pohutawa trees in the corner and enjoying the view”

“Love this place. I have raced model power boats here for many years on the river, a great challenging piece of water.”

“Looks great and a great Park to enjoy with Whanau”

“Its a great pitch for playing rugby and football, but it wouldn't be good for something like cricket or basketball”

“The food here is delicious and reasonable price. Wide open spaces and kid friendly environment.”

“For young and old a great turf, needs some southerly protection and covered seating for visitors who would like to come and watch”

“Cheap parking, and central location to plenty of restaurants, bars and theatres. Best suited to small vehicles, quite tight parking, and narrow thoroughfare to navigate. Paying via the app is quicker and easier than waiting to pay via the only two pay machines on the ground level. Lifts service the various levels and there is a staircase too - if you have prams and kids it's probably safer to drop the whānau (family) off outside first.”

“I go there for hockey it is a very nice facility.”

“A fantastic little book park. Well designed. Layout absolutely superb.”

“Went to this place 2ce last week with 17mth old moko. Clean tidy child friendly place with play equipment that moko enjoyed! Cool bike path area too! Seating all around too x”

“Awesome watching my moko play netball”

“A wonderful family park for outdoor for sports and picnics . A bit damp under foot in the winter but excellent in the summer ☀️”

“A nice little city park with quiet walking tracks, plenty of up and down hill. The view area above the water tank is a fantastic new addition and a great viewpoint.”

“The ground is in the best state ever for Rugby.”

“Great park for a family picnic. So close to children's playground, toilets and swimming pool”

“Great place good to see sport back on the rise after trying times”

“Ki o Rahi tournament. Wainuiomata is just the best place in New Zealand!!”
