Exhibition of photographs by John McWilliam.
The Wellington City Council owned this land and it was destined for council housing (now Te Ara Hou flats). When a fire destroyed most of the buildings on the site the community pitched in and after a huge clearing operation, the Adventure Playground was created.
The framed photographs in this exhibition (in three different sizes) are available to purchase as well as an exhibition booklet with John’s photographs and the story of the playground.

Cost: Free
