Karenga Park in Koutu is getting a new playground and public toilets.
The new playground will include a double play tower with a slide, an accessible basket swing, spinning carousel, waka design seesaw suitable, nature play featuring tree logs, stepping logs, play tables, rocks and plants and an interactive board game panel.
In a statement today, Rotorua Lakes Council said: “during engagement with residents and tamariki we heard that it was important to bring the playground closer to the existing public spaces, and that the design should reflect the local community and natural environment.”
Construction was expected to take four weeks, weather permitting.
