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.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
