Play is on the Way: Simpson Reserve pop-up

We're upgrading Simpson Reserve in Pāpāmoa and creating a vibrant new playground where the whole community can connect and play.

Imagine a space where kids can climb, spin, and explore, where families can relax under shady trees, and where the whole community can come together. That’s the vision—and we want your help to bring it to life.

So, tell us what you think would make Simpson Reserve more awesome! Come along and share your thoughts in person with the project team at the Pāpāmoa Library.

If you can't make it, don't forget share your ideas online at https://letstalk.tauranga.govt.nz/projects/simpson-reserve-play-is-on-the-way

Community feedback runs from Monday 15 September until 5pm, Wednesday 15 October 2025.

This is your place, your playground. Let's build it together.
