Discover the magic of your regional parks. For 25 years, Greater Wellington has been hosting recreational events that help people connect with nature, get active outdoors, and enjoy time together.
Queen Elizabeth Park is more than just a beautiful coastal space – it’s a hub for conservation. Greater Wellington’s work here protects freshwater and wetlands, restores native habitats, preserves historic sites, and helps build resilience to climate change. Our partners, mana whenua, and volunteers play a vital role in making this park a special place for everyone.
