The Tahapa Reserve upgrade project has begun. We look forward to the improved play facilities and recreation areas (plans here), as well as the connections to the Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive shared path that is currently under construction.
This project is split into two stages. You can see this distinction in the map below. Stage 1 is represented in blue, and Stage 2 is represented in red.
Stage 1 includes:
- The construction of a new pathway and play space in Tahapa Reserve West. Construction site access will be from Tahapa Crescent between house numbers 65 and 61.
- These works will include removing the existing basketball court, and construction of a new half court. A new playground facility is also being constructed. Tahapa Reserve will not be accessible to the public whilst these works are being carried out.
- A new pathway will also be constructed through Tahapa Reserve East from Harapaki Rd, between house numbers 26 & 28, and includes a small timber boardwalk.
- We will also be constructing a new pathway between house numbers 25 and 23 on Tahapa Crescent, and renewing the existing access to the reserve from Harapaki Road between house numbers 26 and 28.
The main access for the construction of this section of path will be via the existing maintenance access way on Tahapa Crescent, between house numbers 45 and 41.
Works for Stage 1 began in early April 2019. Stage 1 is expected to be completed by October 2019, pending any adverse weather conditions.
Timeframes for Stage 2 are yet to be confirmed, as these works are contingent on the shared path from Glenn Innes to Tamaki Drive, which is a project under Auckland Transport. Stage 2 will begin once this shared path is constructed.
