About the project

Paengaroa is getting a new playground very soon, in the heart of the village, which tamariki will be able to access without having to cross the state highway.

The $180,000 playground will be built at Conway Road Reserve, which is on the same side of the state highway as the school.

Until 2019 the reserve was used for horse grazing however the Paengaroa community worked hard to convert the area for its intended purpose as a community reserve. At the time, there was no recreational land on the housing side of State Highway 36, and they were worried about children crossing the highway to access Paengaroa Domain.

The playground is the next stage in transforming Conway Road Reserve into a vibrant community space where children can play, families can gather, and memories can be made.

Playgrounds are more than just places for children to play - they are vital community spaces where people come together, Children are inspired to learn and grow, friendships are formed, and community spirit is strengthened.

The community’s feedback will help shape a space that is not only fun and engaging for our tamariki but also a place where the entire community can connect and thrive.

Next steps

Thank you to everyone who submitted feedback.

All feedback submissions are currently being reviewed and we'll be able to share the plan in the very near future.
