A new playground at Tahatai Coast School has been a big hit with students and the wider Papamoa community.
The playground features slides, poles, balance ropes, surfboard spring rockers, rock walls, nets, basket swings and more.
Tahatai Coast School principal Matt Skilton says the project started with initial designs which were discussed with student councillors.
“The student councillors took the designs back to their respective classes and asked for feedback. We changed the design of the playground based on this student voice.
“The playground increased possibly as much as a third from the original design with the suggested equipment children wanted.
