Water park in Wellington

“Mind blown by the place and arena. Fantastic services available, good parking. Round about was quite congested when we left. It would help if people knew their road rules.”

“Cute wee park , love the kids playground and the garden for the blind has nice booth seating for lunch or a quiet and discreet meeting. Beautiful sweet smelling flowers and water feature and on the other side you can sit and watch cars on the motorway”

“A perfect spot to view the east coast of Wellington. Not far away from the car park you can see an arch hole on your left; when you are looking far towards the sea you may see Baring Head Lighthouse. It’s a Lighthouse located in back country.”

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

“Had a great time and met lots of other nice dog owners z Be aware though that there are no gates to this area. Would be a great improvement to make it secure so dogs don’t run into children’s play area, the car park…?”

“Wouldn't recommend swimming with eel food strapped to you. Saw one the size of a fricken tree trunk, the size that makes you say... that's a fricken tree trunk. But it wasn't. Having said that, great spot and friendly eels.”

“Great foresight to have these around.”
