Children’s Playground

Right on the waterfront, this place is honestly one of Dunedin’s better-kept secrets. The rock playground — you’ll see why people call it the Google Rock Playground once you’re there — is genuinely sculptural, like someone decided a playground should also be something worth looking at. It costs nothing, which is always a win, and the sea backdrop makes it feel like a pretty special spot to spend an afternoon. Locals know it, but it never seems to get as much attention as it deserves.
