Update on Normanton Reserve, Glenfield

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

Update on Normanton Reserve, Glenfield:
* Today the Kaipātiki Local Board gave the final sign-off for replacing the current basketball court and half-court with a new standard size basketball court and replacement of the existing skatedot with a modern version (both expected to be completed by end of June, if no delays).
* Great news that the missing drinking fountain has finally been installed!
* "Road markings" are now painted on the pathway for little bikes and scooters.
* The new green slide on the hill is currently blocked off for work, and I've requested an update on why.
* The daylighting of the underground stream at the southern end of the park is now scheduled to begin in October 2020.
