Upgrades to Norman Kirk and Currie Park Play Spaces, Kaiapoi

We are installing two new play spaces at Norman Kirk and Currie Parks.

We are installing a new play space at Norman Kirk Park which will include a climbing tower, a swing set, a carousel and a rocker. At Currie Park the existing equipment has reached end of life so will be replaced with a natural play space.

  • Construction of garden beds and reserve paths.
