Due to the reaction of residents, council officers are recommending council removes the section of the draft plan which would allow the sale of a section of the park.
The section, along with the rest of Ebbett Park, St Leonards Park and Whenua Takoha Reserve, would be vested under the Reserves Act 1977.
"This will ensure the intent of the gift of land is upheld and parkland is retained for future generations to enjoy," the agenda states.
The land Ebbett Park is on was gifted to the city by former Hastings borough mayor George Ebbett and his wife Eliza Maud Ebbett.
Other recommendations council will consider on Tuesday is a possible fenced dog area in Ebbett Park.
The original draft plan recommended fencing of the playground at Ebbett Park and extending the hours dogs are allowed off leash, with the children's playground fenced off.
A fenced dog park would enable dogs to be off leash all the time, without having to fence off the playground.
However, it would require further community consultation.
Other recommendations from submissions are minor changes to wording throughout the plan.
The draft plan allocates around $1.4 million to be spent on the parks.
Currently, $955,000 is allocated over the next eight years. This leaves a shortfall of just over $400,000.
Council hopes to reduce the burden on ratepayers by fundraising with the local community.
The meeting is due to be held on Wednesday, Febuary 13, at 9am at Hastings District Council.
