Avalon is a suburb of Lower Hutt, in the Wellington Region of New Zealand. It was formed as a private residential development in the 1970s on land formerly occupied by market-gardens on the left (eastern) bank of the Hutt River.[3] It features mostly California-inspired designed houses, often split-level, with 3 or 4 bedrooms. It also features Avalon Park, one of the biggest playgrounds in Lower Hutt.[4][5]

The Hutt City Council formally defines Avalon as the area bounded by Percy Cameron Street and the Wingate Overbridge in the north, the Hutt Valley rail line in the east, Fairway Drive and Daysh Street in the south, and the Hutt River in the west.[6]
