Pirie Street Play Area

Pirie Street Play Area in Mount Victoria, Wellington, is a medium-sized fenced playground on the slopes of Matairangi that stands out for being notably sheltered from Wellington's wind. The recent upgrade brought in a varied equipment mix that works well for children from babies through to early primary school age.

Equipment

The playground includes an embankment slide, a junior multi-play structure with slide, a basket swing, an infant swing, a you-and-me swing, an inclusive carousel, an inground mini trampoline, interactive play panels, and a spring rocker. A fenced junior toddler area with its own gate provides secure space for the youngest visitors. The surface is artificial turf.

Access and Inclusion

The you-and-me swing lets a caregiver and child face each other while swinging, making it useful for children who benefit from direct contact and support. The inclusive carousel is suitable for children with balance needs. The playground is fully fenced. Off-street parking is available nearby.

Practical Info

Seating and a picnic table are on site. On-street parking is available on Pirie Street. Wellington City Council's smokefree policy applies to this playground.
