Welcome Bay parks improvements
It’s all go in Welcome Bay! 🤩
The playground upgrade and new 3x3 basketball court at Waipuna Park are complete, and the middle sports fields (northern end of the park) are getting better drainage and new training lights installed. Once this work is complete, cricket practice nets will be added. We’re also connecting up the existing footpath at the northern end of Kaitemako Road to the new pathway that leads into the playground.
A heads up that two access points to Johnson Reserve will be closed over the next few weeks for upgrades, including the Pelorus Street walkway which is getting a new fence, and the Meander Drive access which is getting a new concrete path and boardwalk.
