We're planning to build a playground at Raumanga Scenic Reserve. The installation will begin in August 2024. 

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 are building toilets, a drinking fountain and a brand new playground for diverse age groups, easily accessible from Raumanga Valley Road.

The playground will feature slides, climbing frames, balance challenges, and a see-saw which is compatible with most wheelchairs and have a shade sail over it.

The upgrade will include:

• 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.

On 21 February 2023, we had a community afternoon at the location for the proposed playground to take the community through playground designs. We also discussed the development of the Raumanga Shared Path.
