Playground Renewals survey
Feedback updated 15 Mar 2023
We asked
In May 2022, we asked the communities around Bremworth Park, Galloway Park, Pygmalion Park and Waiwherowhero Park for their feedback around an upgrade of the playground at within their respective parks. We wanted to know what sorts of play equipment they wanted to see at their playground, with a like-for-like renewal planned. This means that the playground will be staying roughly the same size and having the same number of play features.
You said
Through the engagement, some key themes and insights emerged. Across all four parks, feedback focused on creating a playground that included features for all ages, wanted more picnic areas, seating and shade, and that they wanted multi-purpose equipment.
We did
The playgrounds have been designed, incorporating the community’s feedback. Construction on the playgrounds at Waiwherowhero Park and Pygmalion Park were completed in February 2022. Construction at Bremworth Park is currently underway and is expected to finish at the end of May 2023. Galloway Park playground upgrade will begin in July 2023.
Overview
Four neighbourhood playgrounds across Hamilton are due a refresh in accordance with Council’s playground renewals programme.
In 2022-2023 the Council are focussing on playgrounds at the following parks.
- Bremworth
- Galloway
- Pygmalion
- Waiwherowhero
We’re interested in the views of the local community who use these parks and want to make sure their voice is factored into the design of the playground within our renewal guidelines.
This survey closes on 17 May 2022 - make sure you get your neighbours to share their thoughts as well before then!
