Let's Talk Thorndon Park

Background

Thorndon Park is our principal park, as well as the most accessible and inclusive park in our City. Featuring the historic reservoir and an all-inclusive play space, the park is a major attraction for all ages and abilities.

With several projects including upgrades to the playground, car parking and Hamilton Terrace completed in recent years, Staff are now developing a revised Draft Thorndon Park Master Plan.

To support the development of the Plan, we are seeking Community feedback on a number of considerations being explored including:

• Enhanced entry and sense of place

• Improved oval space

• Enhanced biodiversity (particularly the wetlands and perimeter plantings)

• Enhanced lake edging and interface

• Opportunities for less-structured play

• Revamped central plaza space and kiosk

• Car parking

• Potential relocation of the amphitheatre to the pavilion zone

• Opportunity to refresh and/or repurpose heritage buildings e.g. for special events such as weddings

• Opportunity to provide accommodation e.g. a small number of camping/caravan bays with minor amenities block

• Any other items.
