During Play Week head into the city centre to join in the fun, with a range of options to suit all ages.

In Aotea Square, jump into the mini-soccer Hungerball arena and test your skills in this fast-paced communal game of frantic footwork. Stretch your imagination with the expansive loose parts playground from Junky Monkeys and Conscious Kids.  Sit down with the folks from The Open Fort at their Play Cafe and make some new friends while playing games, running around on some secret treasure hunts or buzzing as bees in their giant BeeGarden game.

Play Week is a national Sport NZ-led initiative promoting play as one of the top four ways to get active, alongside physical activity in school, active recreation, and sport. 

From junk play to Mahjong, street game design workshops, Dungeons and Dragons sessions and much more there’s heaps on in the City Centre during Play Week. Find out more here
