Work starting today on Ōtaki Beach's basketball court
Ōtaki Beach's basketball court is set to get a new lease of life.
Work started today to clean the concrete and repair cracks and uneven parts of the court. It is expected to take one week to complete. The repairs will make the area more usable for all members of our community.
There is plenty of other work underway at our parks, including:
🚗 Tilley Road Reserve carpark in Paekākāriki will be repaired and partially resurfaced from 30 January–2 February
💪 the adult exercise equipment at the Milne Drive Reserve playground in Paraparaumu will be open from Monday, 30 January. The equipment was installed last week as the final part of the playground's revamp, but has been fenced off to allow the concrete bases to cure
🤾🏼♀️ Shotover Reserve playground in Waikanae will be closed from 31 January to undergo its revamp. The Shotover Reserve playground's new look will be based on what you told us during consultation in 2021
