Climbing platforms, in-ground trampolines, flying foxes and a four-metre high swing are planned to take older children on a ride to remember at Lucy Moore Park.
Warkworth Lions held a two-hour public consultation on February 11 to collect feedback on the project, which has received a $100,000 Rodney Local Board grant.
Lions Club president Peter Henderson says they had a steady stream of locals who voiced their opinion and voted on the preferred activity equipment.
“The consensus is that the play area will be great for the town, but it’s certainly not for the fainthearted,” Peter says.
The Centennial Play Space will mark the Lions’ 100th anniversary, and was chosen after an extensive survey of various local organisations.
The group plans to incorporate an observation platform, which can be used for public concerts. Lions representatives will meet with Auckland Council to obtain landowner approval and Peter thanked Morphum Environmental and White Landscape and Urbanism for their work on the project.
