Upper Hutt residents love their park and now they have the opportunity to have a say on an $18 million re-development.
The council received $12 million from the government as part of its "Shovel Ready " scheme to boost the economy and it also has an extra
$6 million allocated to the project.
During October and November, the council will be asking the community what it would like to see included in the Maidstone Community Sports Hub.
The aim is create a master plan by February 2021 and the council hopes to begin construction in March 2021.
The redevelopment will create a multi-purpose sports park, providing a focal point for recreation in the city. The vision is to create a mix of new and upgraded clubrooms, facilities and associated infrastructure, addressing the issue of ageing sporting infrastructure in Upper Hutt.

The launch last week went even better than we'd hoped. I'm over the moon.
I thought I'd drop by to let you know this week's episode, Location, Location, Location, is out now.
Just like the first one, it's packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home. It also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
In episode 2, we talk to a first time buyer who moved from one end of the country to the other for a chance to get on the ladder, hear about apartments as a viable first home option and an expert gives us some tips on how to choose the right lawyer.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
Give episode 2 a listen and let us know what you think - and I hope you're all in to win that crackin' prize pack!

Why does my MP matter?
The person elected will be the voice for your region in Parliament. If you're having trouble getting entitlements or dealing with Government departments, they can help. If your community needs funding for certain projects or activities, or there isn't enough healthcare in the area, the elected MP can step in and help.
To be elected, the candidate needs to secure the most votes.
