1 / 3Waitangi Park
📍 Te Aro, Wellington
Waitangi Park is a free open space on Wellington's waterfront hosting a mirrored-steel sculpture by Seung Yul Oh, a weekly parkrun 5K, regular concerts, and play areas for children. Pram-friendly with café nearby and paid parking available.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A free central Wellington option for families wanting open space and city energy. Children have room to run, the sculpture is a genuine photo opportunity, and the parkrun gives families with a running habit a Saturday morning community. The waterfront means a café is always close.

“Came here for the new sculpture in Welly by Seung Yul Oh’s KIMI/You Are Here! The sculpture itself looks like an inverted drop of tears, made of mirrored steel. Really cool to see our reflection on it with different perspectives.”
