Project overview
A renewal of the Mere Road playground was completed in February 2024 with nearby residents having input into the initial concept designs and the final design option selected.
In addition to new playground equipment, we have improved the level of shade and included rubber mats for better accessibility, providing an amazing asset for the local community.
The renewal of this playground and the funding required was allocated in the 2021-31 Long-Term Plan.
The local community provided general feedback about what they wanted to see at their playground which informed three different concept design options. In the second round of engagement, the local community were asked to vote for their favourite of the three designs. The design option selected has its own identity and flavour which reflects the needs and wants of the local area.
