Cass Square Playground – what’s happening?
Over the past few years, concerns have been raised by the community about the standard and safety of the playground at Cass Square in Hokitika. Required safety audits in 2020 and 2022 identified safety issues.
Council allocated funding for improvements to the playground in the Long Term Plan in June 2021 and successfully applied to the Lottery Grant Board in 2022 for funding that matched the Council contribution, creating a total of $1.2 million to upgrade the playground.
Early in 2023, elected members held a workshop with the community to understand their needs and form a working group to ensure that the final playground and design are fit for purpose for the community.
