Sport Wellington's June Buggy Walk

Sport Wellington Buggy Walks are a free event occurring every month. The walks take place at a different location every month and aim to provide parents and caregivers with the opportunity to discover some of the many buggy friendly walking tracks throughout the Wellington region.

The monthly Buggy Walks usually attract around 100 – 300 participants. The walks vary in length and difficulty but will usually take 45 – 60 minutes to complete. With no registration necessary, everyone is encouraged just to show up and take part. Participants can also take advantage of a free BBQ from Southern Cross Garden Bar and Restaurant, spot prizes and giveaways.
