Maclean Park
Kāpiti has grown up with Maclean Park and it’s a great place for the whole family. The park spans along the beach with multiple access points through the dunes to the water and is across the road from the local shops and cafes.
Maclean Park has plenty of off-street parking and is home to a marine-themed playground, public toilets with baby change tables and a beach shower, a large skate park, basketball hoop and plenty of space to have a picnic. The playground has a 'witch’s hat' climbing structure, which is great for confident climbers with different levels to achieve. Maclean Park is often home to events in the summer so keep an eye out for activities.
Since November 2016 we’ve been working with our community to prepare a plan for Maclean Park's long-term development so it can meet the needs of current and future users. Click here to check in on the progress of the development.

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.
