Lovely park, it has different areas for different uses. Shade under gorgeous trees, a little pond, a play ground, flowers and herbs, and cherry trees. Be aware there are no public toilets there
Park in Northern Thorndon with the Lady McKenzie Garden for the Blind
Katherine Mansfield Memorial Park is a park in Wellington, established in the late 1960s as part of the Wellington Urban Motorway project. Within the park, visitors will find the Lady McKenzie Garden for the Blind, which was built around 1969. The park is located on Fitzherbert Terrace in Northern Thorndon, near the last Wellington home of Katherine Mansfield.

Cute wee park , love the kids playground and the garden for the blind has nice booth seating for lunch or a quiet and discreet meeting. Beautiful sweet smelling flowers and water feature and on the other side you can sit and watch cars on the motorway
Lovely quiant park just on the outskirts of Wellington CBD. Good for relaxing after brunch while the children play in the playground.
This is a gorgeous park that buffers this side of the city from the motorway that runs below. The park is long and thin, making great use of the space through zoning; there is a grassy zone, a picnic bench zone, a kids play equipment area, a pond corner and the garden for the blind is park of the park. The most impressive part of the park is the huge array of plants. There are both natives (pohutukawa, cabbage trees) and exotic species (cherry blossoms, lavender, azaleas, hydrangeas). Every little corner is planted with ... something! So if you love plants, you’ll love it here. I think Katherine Mansfield would have loved it, too. Please kindly note, the park has no toilets but you can pop out of one end of the park to Mojo Cafe to use theirs while you grab your flat white. Also, I did notice a lot of shingle/gravel paths so if you’re a wheelchair user please take note of that.
Really chill little park surrounded by beautiful native trees (which attract some kakas), flowers and extensive green slopes. Perfect spot to read your late afternoon book.
