We are expecting it to take a month to have the new playground built and open again for you to enjoy. The playground design is the one that was selected from our community consultation and your votes back in November. Some of the existing equipment that is being removed will be refurbished to use elsewhere in the future. The flying fox is open and can still be used while this playground is being built. Thanks for your patience!

Maggie the dog.

"Hi there my name is Maggie, I am a loveable lady looking for my forever home. In my previous home I had someone home with me full time and when left alone for periods at a time I have shown the ability to escape out of medium height fencing. So my new home would need to have high fencing and a plan for during the day if left alone that does not include being tied or tethered. I would love a home that has older children that have grown up around strong dogs and a home that has had experience with dogs. I have had a fair bit of training but there is always room to learn more things so would love a home that could put the time into teaching me. If you think you are the home for me get in touch with the canine team to learn more about me."
