A family playground in Mount Victoria, Wellington, that works for children and the adults who come with them. Children head straight for the slides and the climbing structure, while the grown-ups settle in to watch and talk, which is what makes it a good place to spend an afternoon. The name points to football and rugby, so older children who play those sports may feel at home here too.
It sits in Mount Victoria, a short walk from the city centre and the hills above it, so a visit can be paired with a walk up the hill or a stop in the city. Our pick in Mount Victoria for an afternoon out with young children who want to climb and slide.
