The Willowbank Reserve play area is categorised as a community play space, which are designed to keep junior-age tamariki and/or rangatahi (youth-aged people) entertained for at least an hour. Community play spaces should provide play opportunities for a range of age groups, and should offer something unique compared to similar play spaces elsewhere in Pōneke.

We're renewing these play areas to make them an even better place to play. You can read more about Wellington City Council’s strategic vision and planning for play areas in Wellington in the Play Spaces Policy (2017).
