Wellington, New Zealand isn’t very friendly towards dogs. There are no dedicated, fully-fenced doggy playgrounds, and dogs aren’t allowed in the central city.
In December 2009 changes to the policy have eased things slightly:

Wellington City Councillors approved changes to the Dog Policy at today’s Council meeting. The four new off-leash exercise areas are Chelmswood Reserve in Ngaio, Vice Regal North and Alexandra Road West on the Town Belt in Newtown and Worser Bay beach (before 9am and after 7pm in summer and at all times in winter).
The extensions to the current dog exercise areas include Trelissick Park, Dorrie Leslie Park and Meekswood Reserve. … At Waitangi Park, dog owners can take their dogs on-leash around the outside, but dogs will be prohibited from the open grass area.
… dog owners can now walk their dogs on a leash through the CBD to the waterfront and other parts of the city, but they are not allowed to stop with their dog in the CBD.
The Wellington City Council dog pages don’t seem to have been updated yet with the new details.
