Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts on what the new play space at Alison Street, Linton Park East could look like. We've now shared the draft concept design below and construction will start in 2026.

Here is the draft concept design of the new playground. It features lots of play equipment for smaller tamariki, a bike track around the outside of the play space, sensory play and a shaded seating area. There will also be fencing on the road side of the play space.

The focus for the Alison Street play space is on younger tamariki up to the age of 6 years, to provide for their needs and abilities.

We want to ensure that the community has the opportunity to contribute to the design of the new play space, to generate a sense of pride and ownership, and to ensure Council creates a space that reflects the needs and aspirations of the community.

Feedback on this topic has now closed. We asked participants to tell us about their current use of the reserve and what they'd like to see in the playground in the future.
