More information about playgrounds
The Salford Street play area is categorised as a neighbourhood play space, which are handy for a quick play. It provides a playground for junior-age tamariki within a 600-metre walking distance, as well as other potential play opportunities.
We're renewing play spaces around the city 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).
