Wellington town belt and Outer green belt is a pair of strips of tree-filled wilderness spaces near and around central Wellington, New Zealand's capital city. The inner strip, the town belt, is an elongated U-shape. It was set aside by the city's founders in 1840. It is now about two-thirds of its original area. Portions have been repurposed for various mostly-public purposes, including Wellington Hospital, Victoria University of Wellington, Government House, Wellington Zoo, Wellington College, the Wellington Botanic Garden, and a range of other parks and recreational areas.
