PoTW – Newtown Park, Wellington

Newtown Park (by the Zoo), Manchester Street
A small playground, tucked in between the zoo, the athletics track and the carpark, this one still packs a good punch. It captures great sunshine, particularly in the later afternoon, while also offering large trees for shade. It only has a couple of pieces of play equipment, but if you’ve had a battle getting your kids out of the zoo, it’s worth the stop to reset everyones moods before you have to commute across the city to get home. Not a destination playground, but definitely worth a stop.
