About

Frank Kitts Park is a park in Wellington with an open space, an amphitheatre-style seating area, and cafes. We feature several artworks, including the Albatross, Fruits of the Garden, and Water Whirler sculptures. Our inner-city park also includes the Te Aro Mahana playspace, which offers interconnected play areas with a maritime and coastal landscape theme. This space features a lighthouse with a refurbished original cupola dome, climbing nets, and swing sets. At the heart of the playspace is the interactive Whetuu Maarama waka, crafted by artist Matthew McIntyre-Wilson. Most of the park is flat, with steps and a ramp linking its upper and lower sections.

A fantastic park for all ages—kids loved the play area, and there’s lots of space to run around. Clean facilities and nice picnic tables too!

This place is one of the incredible places in Wellington. Most likely this is part of the waterfront. If you visit the Wellington waterfront harbor, you will find this beautiful park and kids playground. Totally free of charge. Kids can experience adventure and fun at the same time. Highly recommended place.

Names after the former mayor, Sir Francis Joseph Kitts. This is a beautiful open space that is right along the waterfront. An amphiteater for picnics and events that can be reserved. The playground is a series of connected spaces with a cute maritime theme. There are climbing nets and swing sets and places for the adults to sit. You'll also find sculptures and walking areas. Leashed dogs are permitted.

Lovely little park and play area on Wellington's waterfront close to the CBD. Ideal as a spot to have your lunch away from the office during the week or a nice place for the kids to play during the weekend. Frank Kitts Park also provides space to exercise for the grownups. The playground with it's iconic lighthouse slide is rather unique and the views from the top of the slide are worth checking out even for the older kids. The park definitely adds to Wellington's waterfront experience and is worth checking out.
