Riddiford Gardens

Parks

Riddiford Gardens is a quiet, tucked-away spot right in the city centre.

 

Location

Laings Road, Lower Hutt

How to get there

Good for:

  • Toddlers

With manicured gardens, shaded areas, a small playground, and plenty of space to sit, it’s an easy option for a slower picnic or a quick break between shops.

It’s less about big open spaces and more about taking a moment. Whether that’s a catch-up, a solo reset, or somewhere to stop with something takeaway in hand.

LOCAL TIP:

Go mid-morning or early afternoon for a quieter feel. This one fills up quickly on sunny days.


COFFEE: Bellbird Eatery
