Previous consultation with the community

In July 2020 you told us what you’d like to see in your park. We heard the following from a good selection of the community:

• this is one of our quieter neighbourhood playgrounds, but is still enjoyed by preteens
• we need to keep a focus at this playground for preteens
• there are a number of other playgrounds within a 2-kilometre radius that cater for toddlers through to 8 year olds
• climbing and adventure is an important feature of the current equipment
• some equipment for under 5s is desirable
• seating would be a nice addition to the reserve
• the Matai Community garden is an important component of the reserve
• make better use of the green space by changing the location of the playground.
