    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

    This is a gorgeous park that buffers this side of the city from the motorway that runs below. The park is long and thin, making great use of the space through zoning; there is a grassy zone, a picnic bench zone, a kids play equipment area, a pond corner and the garden for the blind is park of the park. The most impressive part of the park is the huge array of plants. There are both natives (pohutukawa, cabbage trees) and exotic species (cherry blossoms, lavender, azaleas, hydrangeas). Every little corner is planted with ... something! So if you love plants, you’ll love it here. I think Katherine Mansfield would have loved it, too. Please kindly note, the park has no toilets but you can pop out of one end of the park to Mojo Cafe to use theirs while you grab your flat white. Also, I did notice a lot of shingle/gravel paths so if you’re a wheelchair user please take note of that.

    Really chill little park surrounded by beautiful native trees (which attract some kakas), flowers and extensive green slopes. Perfect spot to read your late afternoon book.

    Lovely quiant park just on the outskirts of Wellington CBD. Good for relaxing after brunch while the children play in the playground.

    Stumbled across this park on my way to work. On a beautiful sunny morning, the grass was green and inviting. There are many places to sit and relax. I hope to go back there when I have more time

    Nice area for children to play but is not fenced. Schools nearby and usually lots of people out- particularly in summer. Lovely trees, good seating areas, a water feature, rubbish bins. No drinkng fountains and no public toilets.
