Alongside the picturesque banks of the Waikato River, Wellington Street Beach boasts a constant stream of swimmers and kayakers alike. A small park makes way to the sandy strip and jetty, the perfect place to take a dip.
Last year, this park was a muddy bank with a few benches to accommodate park goers. Today, this space is a sleek community asset with modern toilets, shade structures, a public barbeque, drinking fountain, seating and landscaping.
