Description
Bann Street park runs between Bann Street and Orchy Crescent (off Buckley Road) in Southgate, Wellington, New Zealand.
Bann Street park survey marker. View over Cook Strait.
Bann Street park is a small, grassy knoll with spectacular views over the South Coast and into Cook Strait. It’s also very exposed and open to the wind from all directions.
Neighbouring properties have few fences, and it’s only a short distance to the road.
A paved footpath leads beside the grassy area from Bann Street to Orchy Crescent.
This is area #42 on the City Council map: Bann Street (105Kb PDF).
