Frank Kitts Park, Wellington

Along the Wellington waterfront there is the fascinating Frank Kitts Park. The park is named in the honor of Frank Kitts, the longest-serving Mayor of Wellington, New Zealand, having held the post from 1956 to 1974. The park is always crowded with people just walking or who are here with their children, who can play in the safe playground situated within the park. The park is also home to a number of wonderful artistic sculptures, the most impressive of them is the water sculpture "The Albatross" by Tanya Ashken.
