Wellington City Council's 2017 Play Spaces Policy strategically encourages opportunities for incidental play throughout the city, including programming and promotion of the importance of playful spaces for children. As well as Council's formal play space investment, we also aim to enhance the inner city to be more child-friendly by increasing opportunities for visitors and residents to play. For more information on this, please see our Play Spaces Policy and Strategy for Children and Young People

Te Upoko O Te Ika a Maui Regional Power of Play Report (2022) is a new report specific to our region. We are inspired by this report to continue to put tamariki at the centre of play decision-making, planning and design. To read the report, visit our pārekareka page.

This survey is part of a larger piece of work which aims to understand the opportunities to create a more playful city through the voices of tamariki.
