Equipment

Lyall Bay Play Area sits right beside Lyall Bay beach on Wellington's south coast, and a fenced junior area makes it a practical stop for families with toddlers who want beach time without losing track of a wandering child.

    What better place to play with the kids on the renovated play equipment, right on the beach.

    Pretty views! Right next to the beach, toilets and a couple of yummy restaurants, but it’s windy! (Not so surprising 😆, also very small, great for younger kids) …

    Great playground and beach; lots of parking right nearby, toilets and a couple of cafes. Playground area is fenced, so safe from the road.

    Nice wee spot in summer. Plenty of parking and Maranui Cafe on the beach. Nice to sit at on a seat and watch the waves. Good new loos and facilities.

    So so awesome. Love that they have taken out the traditional mats under the playground and used sand. Such an awesome little play area

    We often drive past it with the kids and they always ask to stop and play for a bit. They enjoy it very much.

    Suitable for very young kids only - nice and safe, right by the sea.
