Beautiful grassed area, catches the sun in winter and a few great playground options for all ages.

George Denton Playground sits at the end of Highbury Road in Wellingtons Town Belt, inside the 32 acre George Denton Park donated to the city by W H Denton. The play space includes swings, slides, climbing racks, the muscle buster, and picnic tables across a large grassed area edged by native bush in the adjoining Waimapihi Reserve. Native birds including kaka often fly through from nearby Zealandia, which is a recurring highlight in family reviews. The park is on the Polhill family loop walk and is well-regarded for a quieter nature-rich play, though theres no public toilet on site.

Can't really speak to the quality of the playground, I just parked my bike there to go for a walk to the radome.
