Western Springs Lakeside Te Wai Ōrea Park | Playground Upgrade
The Western Springs Lakeside Te Wai Ōrea Park playground will be temporarily closed from Monday 14 September 2020, while upgrade works are undertaken.
We are working on improvements to the park that include a new playspace, path connections and site furniture. This will ensure the playground is suitable for a wide range of ages and interests.
During this time we encourage you to visit nearby playgrounds, including: Coyle Park, Cox’s Bay Reserve, Eric Armishaw Park and Grey Lynn Park.
Please take care in this area while works are taking place:
• There will be no access through the playground area, detours will be in place.
• The public toilets by the playground will be closed.
• Please use alternative routes and toilets.
See map image for details.
Period of works: Monday 14 September 2020 through to late January 2021.
