Paraparaumu Domain
The entrance to Paraparaumu Domain on the corner of Aorangi and Tutanekai Street is framed by the Paraparaumu War Memorial gates, which list the names of fallen soldiers from WWI and WWII.
One of our District's top rugby fields is situated on one side of the domain and twilight soccer, cricket, and athletics on the other side.
Access to the playground, soccer fields, athletics track, and the Kāpiti Petanque Club is further down Aorangi Road.
The playground has recently been updated and there are a lot of fun things for little ones to play on. The park has swings for all ages and abilities - a baby swing, child swing, bucket swing, and a special needs swing.

Communication boards
To help everyone be part of the conversation, this playground has communication boards in both English and Māori. They are a form of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) that non-speaking people use to communicate. We have designed these boards to support non-speaking tamariki and whānau in their play.

Our boards were developed in partnership with TalkLink Trust, our Disability Advisory Group, with input from a speech language therapist and parents of non-verbal children. For more information on developing a core board for your group or organisation, contact TalkLink Trust.
