Picton foreshore looking smart
Picton’s foreshore has been described as a “marvellous asset” by users.
Council staff received feedback from people who took family members to play there and commented on what a lovely child-friendly area it was.
All picnic tables, benches and whanau seats on the foreshore reserve have just been repainted, along with the children’s playground pirate ship.
Repairs and improvements were also made on the water play equipment which should be back up and running soon after being turned off during the summer water restrictions.
Arborists have trimmed and lifted the large Phoenix palms, elms and other specimen trees across the reserve and have worked on the three large notable trees at the cruise ship shuttle bus passenger waiting area.
New colour lighting has also been installed in the Pohutukawa tree near the museum and memorial steps.
