Explore Esplanade Day

Explore the Esplanade with your family and friends and check out heaps of the free activities we'll have on offer!

The Esplanade is home to Palmy’s biggest playground, popular paddling pools and accessible bushwalks, as well as family favourites like the Esplanade Scenic Railway, Junior Road Safety Park, and Central Energy Trust Wildbase Recovery. There’s always so much to do!

But on this one special day each year, there’s even more! We’ll have live music and dance performances, food and craft stalls, and plenty of free activities for the whole whānau to enjoy!

Bring your hats, sunscreen, and come on down and connect with your community.

Since its also World Wildlife Day, we’re looking forward to celebrating all wild animals and plants and the contribution that they make to our lives and the health of the planet.
