Revamping Waikanae Park

The playground equipment at Waikanae Park is reaching the end of its safe playing life, so we're upgrading the play spaces, play equipment and skatepark!

During February, March and April 2024, we want to hear from you about how you use this space now and your future aspirations for this area.

This will help us create a plan to provide fun, adventurous, and safe play and hang-out spaces that meet our community's needs.

Your play, your say

Whether you're a parent, a caregiver, a young adventurer or a retiree, your voice matters.

Here's how you can cast your ideas into the play space mix:

• In-person: Have a chat with our friendly Parks team at Waikanae Park from 10.30am–12pm, Friday 19 April, and 10am, Friday 26 April when they'll be there with our Waka Kori play trailer for our school holidays Super Parks event.
• Online survey: Fill in our online survey by Friday 26 April 2024. It's quick and easy.
