Playgrounds in Hutt City

They include destination playgrounds such as Avalon Park and localised community playgrounds, as in Arakura Park in Wainuiomata. All playgrounds either meet or exceed the New Zealand safety standard, NZS 5828 for playgrounds and are safe, fun and attractive environments. This does not eliminate the need for supervision of children on public play equipment. Playground upgrading continues yearly throughout the City to provide new fun and exciting challenges for children on an ongoing basis.
