Access notes
Description explicitly calls the inclusive carousel suitable for children with balance needs, and the surface is artificial turf rather than bark, with off street parking available nearby.
What's here
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.
