Consultation has concluded

The playground equipment at Shotover Grove Reserve is reaching the end of its safe playing life, so we're revamping it. Thank you for all your ideas, suggestions, and feedback you've provided. We really appreciate your commitment to the community.

Next steps

The design has been finalised for the revamped Shotover Grove Reserve playground. It is based on what you told us during our public consultation through the survey, ideas board and the feedback from the focus group.

Installation will be completed in the 2022/23 financial year. We'll update you on the page when an exact date is set.

Consultation has concluded

Each year we carry out a regular renewal programme for playgrounds, as equipment gets near the end of its shelf life. Anything that can still be used is either kept in place or relocated.

We aim to create playgrounds that are accessible, fun, varied, and cater for a wide range of abilities. Our goal is to design interesting playgrounds and open spaces that meet the needs of both children and their caregivers.

    What does 'reaching the end of its safe playing life' mean?

    bounceabout asked over 3 years ago

    Hi, and thank you for your question. 

    All playground equipment needs to meet national standards for play safety, so they can be used and enjoyed by everyone. Our staff visit the playgrounds to check the safety of the equipment, and we also get messages from the public when equipment is damaged, not working as it should or getting worn out. 

    This information, along with keeping track of when each playground was last renewed (and therefore has older equipment in it), helps us decide which playground to focus on renewing each year.
