Organiser: Kathleen Griffin

Wellington Weeknight Walkies is a series of social weeknight walks exploring the Wellington region - a combo of easy bushwalks & urban adventuring.

 

This episode of WWW will be exploring one of the capital's quirkiest southern suburbs, Newtown. 

Newtown has a lot to offer (besides being the suburb that I live in). It has the best op shops, the best Countdown, & the best fish & chips - shout out to Leo's Seafood.
It also (more revantly) has many playgrounds with an abundant assortment of equipment. 

The plan is to meet at Mt Cook Play Area (sorry techncially not Newtown) & then stroll the streets in search of slides, swings & monkey bars. 

A rough idea of the parks/order:
Mt Cook Play Area
Hanson St Play Area
Newtown Park Play Area
Melrose Park Kids Play Area (via the back of the zoo)
Carrara Park Play Area (via Carmichael Reservoir/Newtown Lookout)
Newtown Community Playground
Newtown Public Play Park
Vice Regal Park Playground

This trip will also feature many murals to photograph, cats to pat, & dairies to buy ice creams from. 
Bring comfy shoes, warm clothes & maybe a snack.
