PARK'S NEW LOOK
Grant's Bush Reserve in Trentham is taking on a new look.
The mostly poorly trimmed grass and weeds are still there but up has sprung a basketball half court and a children's playground.
The plaground is small but surprising for its extra "equipment". And there are swings suitable for big people.
According to a playground contractor, the UHCC were forced into providing these amentities by the Wallaceville Estate developers who had included them in their promotion of the estate.
The Council will also provide at least one litter dispenser and litter bin.
In another development, Blue Mountains Campus developer is fencing off all of its property which includes a large tract of grass and many trees. This means people will not be able to short cut to school or the rail station thru part or all of the campus unless they can climb fences.
