Ōwhiro Bay concept plan (4.3MB PDF)
The proposed concept plan includes:
- New swing set
- New junior module with dual slides
- Addition of two picnic tables
- Artificial turf around play equipment to enhance accessibility
- Refreshed signage explaining the history of Manu Whenua at the site
- A childproof gate at the entrance of the play area, similar to the current gate on site.
The Ōwhiro Bay play area is considered a neighbourhood play area, which provides a handy place for a quick play and play opportunities targeting at least one age group.
This type of play area is for the local neighbourhood within a 600-metre walking distance.
