Lorna Irene Drive Reserve
This small playground was revamped in 2023, winning Playground of the Year at the 2023 New Zealand Parks Awards hosted by Recreation Aotearoa. It is a fully accessible playground, located in an established subdivision with small trees and gardens. It’s suited to toddlers and young children. Two covered bench seats let you enjoy a bit of shade. As one of the lesser-known playgrounds on the Kāpiti Coast, this is regarded by many as a hidden treasure!
