Morrinsville Recreation Ground master plan

Thanks to those who completed our online survey, filled out a paper survey at the Morrinsville Library or attended one of our pop up info sessions in 2021/22. We've taken your feedback and used it to refine the plan and figure out what things we can achieve in the short term to bring some of your great ideas to life. 

For everything else, we’ll be able to break the final wish-list up into smaller projects that will give us and sport/community groups something to work towards together over time, as funding and manpower allows.

How much funds has been allocated to this budget? In our current Long Term Plan (LTP) we have $250,000 available in 2022/23 and another $1 million after 2024. We can also partner with others (e.g. community groups, donors, sponsors) to make some things happen sooner.

What does the Rec look like now?

The 22ha park is Morrinsville’s largest public green space, currently catering to cricket, football, tennis, swimming and polo. It also has Swim Zone Morrinsville, an off-leash dog exercise area, children’s playgrounds, a mini skate bowl, motorhome parking and dumping facilities, the old tennis club building, the old campground, a residential unit, car park, public toilets and the Morrinsville River Walk. It also includes the land between the railway and the historic park boundary which we’ve only recently acquired, creating further development opportunities. Historically it's been used by a variety of indviduals and groups, however at the moment large areas of the park are under-utilised and have been for a number of years.
