Water park in Wellington

“OMG what a beautiful place... such a great vibe here.... Fab views....Great walks & very good for dog walkers too..”

“Nice place to go for a walk. Go during sunny days. Long walk to reach the dam. So make sure to have water with you. Lovely lake with ducks.”

“A large and very scenic park. Great for picnics, a run, dog walkings and walking in the bus”

“The most amazing city park i have ever seen... You feel like you're in the middle of a national park, 5 minutes walk from a busy street!”

“Amazing space for friendly dogs to have freedom with no chance of pesky cyclists! Thank you”

“Best park in upperhutt. Lots of fun with kids and family. Picnic ground ,barbecue and playground everything in one place.”

“Dogs n togs at the pool was awesome. It looks like a great spot too for summer swimming. Great little complex.”

“Great area in front of the beach especially when summer time! There are football area, bbq area (but the bbq grill didn’t work when we are there), toilet area behind the cafe (not too clean but still useable), cafe is nice with various choices of food, ice cream and milkshake. There is small pond with lot of ducks, don’t feed them bread please. We saw tracking area, maybe someday will back to try the track.”

“This is such a beautiful track. Should take around 2 hours. The view is so beautiful and I will do it again. Absolutely fantastic.”

“If you are tired of city walk, this public place is for you. Bring along your shoes and snacks while walking around the park.”

“Still the best off leash dog park in Wellington, long bush walks, some flat, some up and down. Multiple entry sites, Kaiwharawhara, Crofton Downs, Wilton. Be aware that there are Karaka berries.”

“Always taken care of and manicured.”

“Really nice, many birds and ducks! Ki te pai”

“This place is one of the incredible places in Wellington. Most likely this is part of the waterfront. If you visit the Wellington waterfront harbor, you will find this beautiful park and kids playground. Totally free of charge. Kids can experience adventure and fun at the same time. Highly recommended place.”

“Excellent park for children to enjoy while adults can relax on the beach”

“Not bad, Ramps are a bit steep but big half pipe is well. Very slippery rails”

“A Wellington CBD classic. Come see the bureaucrats eat lunch. Watch the shoppers rest. Marvel at the afternoon drinkers. Join the lunchtime crowd. Peak at the workers scuttling into the tower. You know you want.”

“Nice trail with beautiful scenes”

“Wood turf + ground + play center for kids. Great outdoor playtime.”

“Great shop and service! My favourite local store!”

“The old dam outlet pipe runs through this tunnel. About a 18 minute walk up from Johnsonville park, the tunnel is located just to the left of the track before you reach the ridge. The tunnel length is approximately 30m till you reach the brick up end of the tunnel. You will need a torch or phone light.”

“Such a big play area ..skate park as well .. specially after school..if kids wanted to play more ..water tap and toilets very handy”

“A superb park, well laid out with great planning. The planting attracts birds of all types including the rowdy Tui. Great water features. Plenty of spacious parking and electric car charging posts. Toilets suffer from vandals but usable”

“A beautiful park with a lot of long trails, mountains, forests, waterfalls etc. Bring enough time and water, you can't buy anything there, I also haven't seen a toilet or something. I was there when it was very cloudy, so I couldn't take very nice pictures of the landscape. Make sure the weather is good tho.”

“Very nice at Wahine Memorial Park and also good views at the Park.”

“Looking for LOTR locations?, this is your place”

“A very big and fun park for mountain bike riders, walker and dogs. They have heaps different track from easy to advanced. After last night rain road still muddy and wet. Got a tap to drink and wash your bike.”

“Excellent NZMCA member only park. Great stopover before getting the ferry - only 25 minutes.”
