Thomas Park playground renewal - Tell Tom

The new Thomas Park playground is now open

The new Thomas Park Playground, cnr of Anderson and Moorhouse Streets, is officially open! Thanks to everyone that took part in the project – from letting us know what you’d like to see at the playground, to voting for your favourite of the three playground designs and to the school kids who entered our Terrific Tamariki of Morrinsville loo-art competition – it has all come together nicely and looks fantastic!

It has been wonderful to have so much community participation and we can’t wait for you to come and play. Here's some aerial shots from our community open day in October 2022.
