About

Located on Mount Victoria, one of the most scenic points in Wellington, Roseneath Park offers something for the whole family. In addition to its stunning lookout points and relaxing hikes, the Roseneath Park Playground is a perfect spot for kids (or adults) to play to their heart's content.

The most iconic feature of the playground is its slide - riding this colossal slide has become a Wellington rite of passage. The slide has become famous for the speed that riders are able to achieve, as well as for the views it offers at the top. The slide's open top allows visitors to enjoy a view of Wellington city and the harbor while they make their way down - if you manage to catch a quick enough glimpse, that is!

Thrill seekers be warned - the descent really is faster than you think, but if you're up for a ride, you won't be disappointed!
