'Such a great place to meet - this park!'

Many people and their dogs came to talk about dog off-leash areas in Garden City Reserve.

Nearly everybody spoke of how their dogs had connected them to a wider and more supportive community.

Here are some responses to other questions people asked about the Reserve.

• Pickets and webbing will be removed to make the path safe for the weekend except for two points where we are awaiting Citipower to move pits so we can finish the path.


• Yes! there will be more bins, seats and drinking taps throughout the Reserve


• The new playground has been designed to have a number of wide verges mounded and planted with trees that enclose the space. The space is also a good distance from the road and when built will extend further into the park than the current play equipment.
