Devonport-Takapuna Local Grant Round One 2017/2018 LG1802-101 Takapuna Primary School Legal status: Other: Primary School Activity focus: Community Conflicts of interest: None identified Project: New Community Playground Location: 23 Auburn Street, Takapuna Summary: A community-friendly interactive space where children can create and experience in an imaginative learning environment. The space is designed to be unique with each visit by using moveable free play objects such as ropes, branches, bricks, tarpaulins, palings etc. In addition to its landscape of organic logs, rocks and interactive water area, it will also have fixed structures including tunnels, slides, climbing bars and swings. The design of the play space will be founded on the promotion of key elements of 'real play', including play that involves physical and mental challenge, managed risk, and natural elements. This vision aligns well with the Takaro - Investing in Play Discussion Document recently circulated by the Auckland Council. Dates: 01/08/2017 - 30/11/2017 Rain dates: - Active participants: 5000+ includes all families in Audience size: 50+ the local board area Promotion Yes Community benefits Identified need: We have seen the high usage of the new playground at Takapuna Beach and there is obviously a high demand for this type of facility in this area. Our previous playground area was dismantled in August 2016 to make way for our new school classroom block due to increased enrolment, expected 600+ by 2108. By the time construction starts on a new play space the school and community at large will have been without this playground area for over a year. The new proposed organic playground area is a space to meet, create and interact in a communal environment. This new area will allow us to incorporate our existing native grove, court area and bicycle track within our grounds. Identified community outcomes: It will provide the Takapuna Primary School pupils, their families and the wider community of the North Shore with an interactive and exciting destination. The new organic area, alongside the existing bike track and native grove will give all children a wholesome, active and dynamic learning experience. As our school is open to the public outside of school hours the wider community can enjoy our facilities and we actively encourage this. Our desire is that it will increase the sense of community not only within the school but by all those that use it after hours and on weekends. Due to the fact that it is a fully fenced and gated playground we feel that it will attract families with children aged 0-14 because it is a safe and secure meeting place catering to a wide range of needs. Alignment with local board priorities: Devonport-Takapuna our community has appropriate facilities that can be enjoyed by all open spaces that encourage active recreation Our grounds have been open to the local community since 1875. The facilities they offer have certainly changed and improved over the years and we now provide a natural native grove area, an expansive level playing field surrounded by a bicycle track and mature climbing trees with netball/tennis courts and multiple drinking fountains all housed within a secure fenced environment. As part of the Anzac centenary celebrations we developed a seated area of reflection near the busy Anzac Street for public use.
