Summer activities bring the buzz to Te Aro Park
This summer we’re hosting a range of fun activities in Te Aro Park to celebrate community and bring life into the park – from traditional Māori weaving lessons and poi making classes to pop-up play events and waiata.
Te Aro Park is a special place for Mana Whenua and Wellingtonians due to the significant Māori history it represents on the former site of Te Aro Pā. Revitalising the area is an opportunity to work with Mana Whenua and the wider community to uplift the history of the Pā and celebrate the park as a bustling inner-city green space.
Following the upgrades to Dixon Street and the toilet removal, these activities aim to elevate awareness of the Pā and encourage people to experience and enjoy the park in different ways through free, small-scale activities delivered in partnership with community and social service partners. These activities will run until the end of March.
