🏆 Family Action Verdict
The waterfront setting and maritime play equipment make Frank Kitts a standout free outing.

The top slide is best for children over five - worth noting before little ones make a beeline for it.

Overview
Frank Kitts Park sits right on Wellington's waterfront with a maritime-themed playground at its heart - climbing nets, swing sets, and sculptures spread across connected play spaces. An amphitheatre can be reserved for picnics and events, and there's plenty of open lawn for running around. Leashed dogs are welcome, and the location makes it easy to extend the day with a harbour walk. Free entry, pram-friendly paths, and a nearby café mean families can settle in for as long as the kids want.
