Aotea Lagoon is Porirua City Councils 7 hectare lagoon reserve in Papakowhai, just off State Highway 59, anchored by a destination adventure playground rebuilt in 2012-13 and a summer splash pad. The north-end play zone packs in slides, climbing structures, a fenced toddler playground, a skate park, a bike-track loop, BBQs, picnic lawn, and a rideable miniature train running on Sunday afternoons. The 732m loop track circles the lagoon with a bridge to an island, a rose garden, herbaceous borders, exercise stations, and a petanque pit. Swimming in the lagoon is banned for water quality reasons, but the splash pad more than makes up for it. Consistently well-regarded as a top destination playground for Wellington-region families.

Massive playground to suit all ages and abilities! There is a fully fenced toddler playground that for once isn't lame, and has three slides. A cool pirate ship set up, that generates music using the helm. The massive climbing net is super popular and there are also 4x swings. Plenty of picnic tables, seating and a large grassy area for kicking a ball around. Nearby there is a new pump track for kids, wharepaku (public toilets), the lagging, and a scenic toy train ride. A great spot for riding bikes and scooters!
