About Marine Gardens

The Raumati Marine Gardens has a children’s playground with a very popular splash pad water play feature. There’s also a flying fox, slides and sandpit, along with bbq facilities. There’s plenty of shaded areas or you can bring your own umbrella.

Why not bring your picnic and make it a day out for the whole family.

Public toilets are located near the splash pad facing the beach, or near the entrance to Marine Gardens on Raumati Road.

Raumati Marine Gardens are owned and maintained by the Kapiti Coast District Council.
