Playground pushed back


The completion of a playground at Lucy Moore Memorial Park in Warkworth has been delayed until at least the end of this year. The joint project between Warkworth Lions and the Rodney Local Board was originally set to be finished in June last year. Since then, the project has incurred multiple delays. Warkworth Lions president David Little says the first delay was due to extensive consultation, while the second one was caused by a miscommunication around resource consents. “The consent process has set us back. We won’t be entering the construction phase over winter so the playground will not be complete until late this year, at the earliest,” Mr Little says. The playground is aimed at children between 11 and 14, and will include in-ground trampolines and flying foxes.
