We've completed building a new playground at Raumanga Scenic Reserve featuring slides, climbing frames, balance challenges and an accessible seesaw.

The playground also has a basketball half-court.

Community involvement key to project

Before designing the playground, we asked the community what they would like to see in the new playground. Here is a summary of community feedback:

After listening to the local community, we designed for new toilets, a drinking fountain and a brand new playground for diverse age groups, easily accessible from Raumanga Valley Road.

The upgrade included:

widening the shared path through the reserve
building a natural play area within the playground
a new courtesy crossing on Raumanga Valley Road (upgrading the existing speed bump)
new park furniture
stormwater infrastructure
planting and replacement of the timber bollards.
