The new concept design includes:

  • a smaller slide for younger children

What happens next

Kaipātiki Local Board has approved the concept design for the project.

We have nearly completed a detailed project design. We will be inviting contractors to submit tenders for construction with works starting in September 2025.

Construction is expected to take around 12 to 16 weeks.
