We have been working with the Waikato District Council to obtain as much funding as possible for new play equipment. The design document attached shows the plan of the new playground.

Please note there is a swing set, spinning bowl and other smaller parts to the concept which are not included in the attached picture that form this playground. (The green spaces / plantings shown on the design are for drawing enhancement only and will not be part of the finished playground).

A shade sail will also be added later when budget permits.

In the meantime, the old playground has been removed. The new playground is scheduled to be completed by the end of February.
