This consultation is now closed.
Thank you for having your say.
Public consultation for the Howell Crescent neighbourhood reserve closed on 4 December 2025.
We received 39 submissions through AK Have Your Say, along with additional feedback through community connection at May Road School.
The feedback has helped refine the concept design for a new neighbourhood park at 3–7 Howell Crescent, Mt Roskill.
The park is being developed to support the growing Roskill South community, with new play, recreation and gathering spaces. The original proposal included a playground, kick-a-ball area, half basketball court, community space with shade, picnic tables, drinking fountain and a shared path.

Changes made based on feedback
Based on community feedback, we have updated the design to include:

- a multi-purpose court.
What happens next
At a workshop on 5 March 2026, the Puketāpapa Local Board directed the project team to proceed with the proposed concept design.
A formal business report still needs to be presented to confirm adoption of the design.
The project team will continue preparing the final design and progressing the next stages of the project.
