The reserve at 10 Shirley Rd was previously home to the Shirley Community Centre, which hosted various organisations and projects.
The centre was damaged in the Canterbury earthquakes and demolished in 2012. The reserve was then fitted with facilities including a basketball court, playground, pump track and a large green space.
In 2020, feedback from 58 public submitters was split between replacing the old community centre and developing the area into an open green space.
In 2021, the council approved $3 million of funding to rebuild of the Shirley Community Centre and requested an updated feasibility study.
Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board chairperson Emma Norrish said the board wanted to "develop a meaningful, dynamic, and fun space for everyone, so that the reserve becomes a destination of choice for the community".
The community is being asked their opinion on three options for the reserve.
The options are:
- A recreation space with a full basketball court, renewed playground, planting, a picnic and BBQ area, a community garden and a walkway.
- Creating a community hub that's open to partnerships with local organisations.
- Leaving the space as it is.

Do others agree. Perhaps NEIGHBOURLY could run a POLL on this. Cheers all. ps Popcorn is not my favourite snack. pps "I could see myself cleaning mirrors", but then the sun is shining so I may enjoy it instead.
