Developers have unveiled plans for a new destination playground in Cambridge West – while another playground which opened in Cambridge North last week is proving popular.

Company 3Ms revealed Papatakohe Park in the Bridleways Estate would be “an exclusive play haven for our littlest community members, meticulously designed for safety and enjoyment.”

Waipā District Council opened its latest playground on Terry Came Drive last week.

Community services manager Brad Ward said the playground has a range of equipment including a wheelchair-accessible spinner, a basketball half court, a sheltered barbecue area and fitness equipment for adults.

“This new asset will benefit our community greatly and welcomes children and families of all ages and abilities to learn, play, and grow together,” Ward said.
