Te Kohanga Manaaki - Petone Playscape
Parks
Te Kōhanga Manaaki – Petone Playscape sits right beside the Petone foreshore, just steps from one of the Wellington region’s most popular family-friendly beaches.
Good for:
All ages
With plenty of space to run around, climb and play, plus open areas nearby to spread out or kick a ball around, it’s an easy spot for families to spend a few hours.
It’s the kind of spot where kids can bounce between the playground, beach and open space, while parents grab a coffee from Hamodava Coffee just around the corner.
LOCAL TIP:
Grab a coffee from Hamodava Coffee before heading to the playground, it’s an easy pre-play stop nearby.
COFFEE: Hamodava Coffee
WALKING DISTANCE: 1–2 minutes (Days Bay Pavilion), 10–15 minutes (Hive Cafe)
