We’d love to hear what you think about the Matamata Domain Playground concept plan when it’s released next week!

We’ve partnered with Matamata Futures to design an upgrade to the Matamata Domain Playground, and earlier this year Matamata Futures asked the community what they liked about the current playground and what they wanted to see included in the upgrade.

There were loads of great ideas, and we now have a concept plan that shows what the playground could look like! There’s just one hitch, it costs more than the $1.5 million Council’s committed to the project. To reach the $2.5 million target, Matamata Futures is fundraising for the additional $1 million to include all of the things you said you wanted.

We’ll be coming back to the community with the concept plan to find out which bits you love and which bits you could live without – that’ll help us with the final design and knowing what can be left out if the fundraising doesn’t reach the $1 million target.

Be one of the first to see and comment on the playground concept plan by signing up for playground updates delivered to your inbox at mpdc.nz/signup (select Matamata Domain Playground Upgrade in the Projects section). We’ll also be out and about at these upcoming events to find out what you think about the plan:

• Thursday, 23 November 3 - 5.30pm Senior School area Matamata Primary School Gala. 
• Saturday, 25 November 10am - 12pm Play Day in the Park Matamata Domain Playground.
