Construction on a new $220,000 playground at the Te Awa Detention Pond reserve will commence this month.
The playground is in the newer development in Te Awa Estates at the pond reserve.
A budget of about $220,000 has been allocated for the playground.
The playground includes two 800mm raised mounds; interactive/natural textile play equipment including in-ground trampolines; a new concrete pathway, softfall areas; seating with a picnic table and shade sale; new signage; and landscaping.
It has been designed with timber and bark elements, and planting to maintain the reserve's natural look.
