Waihemo Street Playground is a small neighbourhood play space in Waitangirua, Porirua, currently a multi-play structure with slide and swings including an infant swing on a bark surface, and due for a major upgrade. Porirua City Council is replacing equipment here that is over 20 years old, keeping the lower swing set but installing a new tower play structure with slide.
