Tell us how you want to play, your way
We’re planning a new urban play space at Boyes Park in the central city and want to know what you’d like to see included.
Rather than a large destination playground which tends to attract visitors from outside the area, this will be a medium-sized neighbourhood play space mainly used by people living and spending time in the central city around Boyes Park – which is why hearing your thoughts is so important. This is a part of our Hamilton West Town Belt masterplan.
What type of play elements or experiences would you like to see here? This is your opportunity to have your say to help shape the design of the play space, which will be an exciting new feature within Boyes Park alongside the existing Dame Hilda Ross Memorial and Centennial fountains.
Leave your post-it note style idea on the wall below.

What a great spot for an awesome play space! Walking distance from town/ bus is very strategic for a place for families to unwind.

More sun shades as we take about cancer yet the kids get so burnt in the summer while at the playground. Australia is more conscious of this
