Hey Morrinsville! Pride of Place is about revitalising your town centre to create a vibrant, social place where people feel a sense of belonging.

It's about placemaking - where we turn ordinary spaces into great places. Places that act as a magnet for people to stay longer and keep coming back.

In mid 2022 we kicked off Pride of Place in your town to get your town centre buzzing.

We are currently finalising the plan and hope to have it approved in March/April 2023.

Friendly people. Small town

How Inclusive the people in the town are thinking of bright and new ideas for our town such as the cows,cafes and bakerys , you can go up and talk to anyone for help and they will most likey talk to you for whatever you need they listen to your ideas etc. My favourite thing about the town is the bright colours and the friendly people.

Friendly people. Small town

Clubs
schools
playgrounds ( but can we see more playgrounds for older kids even the one in the intermediate isn't great)

I love all the cows and would like to see schools paint cows too.
The Food
Schools
Clubs
Playgrounds, but i would love to see playgrounds for older kids other than the littler kids.

I love the people they are very kind and welcoming everywhere and there is so much to do I would love it for there to be more shows in town centre based round the 70s and 80s for local bands to come and play there and also for people to bring their cool cars into town and show them off and I love the Skate park and the dairys - Charlie Atkinson M.I.S

I love the cows and the fun playgrounds while also eating the delicious mince&cheese pies from wagon wheel and the beautiful foot long sub from subway.

I love the cows and think we should add more around the town.

The colours, cows and how there are nice people in every cafe. SO VOTE FOR ME >:)

the cows and the schools

I love that it’s quiet, easy to get around, everything’s in walking distance, that we don’t have mcds or kfc, it’s close to cities and beaches if we want to go to them and it’s great to come home again without the hustle and bustle, no traffic lights or long cues. I love Morrinsville the way it is.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD PEOPLE

The cool squash and netball club

GOOD PEOPLE

GOOD PEOPLE

MIS is good ,good people

The cows. At MIS we are learning about diversity and the cows have very diverse and cool colours

There are lots of shops

I love to cows the school's and the cafes

we have good clubs and cool shops and i love the pools

Good coffee, lots of parking, great fish and chips, and honestly I love the fact there are no major fast food chains, which keeps the local businesses thriving.

It's relatively clean with everything handy needed for day to day living and it is gaining popularity because of its proximity to Hamilton, Tauranga and the Coromandel. Friendly locals. Heaps of clubs and interest groups.

I love you e new river trial. I run 4 times a week and it’s an extraordinary extension to the existing. There is space for more though. Wilton town through Lockerbie park and centennial park etc if we were able to like up all the little extra park trails we to a painted strip on the footpath to follow this would be so neat. Different colour lines could represent different km loops. As a college PE teacher too this would be an awesome resource for local school out walking and running in the community. Also adding roagaine or orienteering checkpoints with an app guide would be neat.
Also a running/walking/biking painted line track around all the cows is something I would definitely do.

Thanks.

Hey absolutely loving the new river trail as a local runner I would also love to see all the little trails like Lockerbie reserve, centennial walkway etc all linked together with a thin painted line on the footpath. They are difficult to navigate from one to the other in a circuit, even though I do them often. Different coloured painted lines could even represent different km loops. As a PE teacher at the local college this would also be a fantastic resource. Even adding permanent rogaine or orienteering courses where you can use an app to follow.

Yes please.

Morrinsville skate Club. We are more than 40 people in the club and we skate at the Morrinsville event centre. It will be great to have a skate rink in Morrinsville or simply have more equipment (like music and cabinets) at the Morrinsville Rec.
At the moment we are supplying pads and skates for people who doesn’t have and buying storage to get our stuff at the Rec.
I believe a good sound system and/or big monitor will be awesome to have at the Rec and all the community can use it.
