Lions Park

Getting to know Lions Park 

You'll find this marine-themed, ship-shaped playground tucked in behind dunes in the middle of the Petone Foreshore, with a number of other attractions on offer for people of all ages.

Lions Park is named after the Petone Lions because of the ongoing support the park has received from them. It’s one of many parks that make up the Petone Foreshore.
