Very well done up now. Flying fox is a hit for all ages. A variety of 'swing types"- adult, combo parent&baby, and many other play.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

One of Wellington's best after the rebuild — the flying fox keeps older kids coming back and the even terrain means you can push a pram anywhere on the grounds.

“Clean and so much space on even terrain to run about. Can park close by and the dog exercise area is separated by a fence. There are bits for all ages and plenty of picnic tables and benches .”

Overview

A full rebuild completed in late 2024 transformed Churton Park Playground into one of Wellington's most praised community play spaces. The flying fox is a consistent draw across age groups. Swing options include adult-size, standard, and combination parent-and-baby configurations. The flat, even terrain is easy to navigate with a pram. Picnic tables and benches are scattered around the space. A fenced dog exercise area sits nearby. Free entry, open seven days.
