1. Next to Bayside Boulevard, near the BBQ shelter.
2. Next to Lake Valley Drive, near Anchorage Way.

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.
Community consultation by the Goughs Bay Area Progress Association in 2023 revealed significant support for a new playground in Goughs Bay. Early in 2024, the Goughs Bay Area Progress Association received funding through Council's Outlying Community Infrastructure Fund for design and construction.
The playground design and location is now available for community feedback.
Construction is planned for September 2024, following a review of feedback.
The proposal
The proposed design includes a combined climbing frame and slide, swings, 2 rockers and a see-saw-like dual rider. The ground surface features soft play mulch with recycled plastic edging, and rubber surfaces below the swings and slide.
The whole playground covers an area of 10m x 10m.
The proposed location is on Lake Valley Drive, near the intersection with Anchorage Way.
How to get involved
The proposed design and location are available to view on this page.
