About the project
Plans to upgrade Grenada North Park have been in the making since 2011, and now concept work is underway.
Wellington engineering firm WSP has been appointed to complete technical site investigation at Grenada North Park, including hydrological and geotechnical analysis to inform the options for future development.
They'll also be working with the community to review the original plans and decide what could be included in the park’s new concept plans. Options include:
- new artificial sports pitches
- refurbishment of other fields
- entrance upgrades including carparking
- playground renewal
- walking and biking tracks
- furniture and other amenities.
Community engagement will include workshops, surveys and drop-in sessions.
Timeline
- Pre-design engagement: April 2024
- Concept design: May to July 2024
- Construction work: 2025 – 2027
Background
In 2011, a masterplan for Grenada North Park was produced. It highlighted that artificial turf could increase sports field usage at the park, as it can extend playing time to 50 hours per week or more, regardless of weather.

Funding was allocated in the Council’s 2021-31 Long-term Plan, providing $13.2 million over three years, from 2024 to 2027.
Work beyond concept design is subject to on-going funding commitment through our Long-term Plan 2024-34 consultation process.
