Good to know

HistoryBuddle Road Playground (also known as Grant's Bush Reserve Playground) is a relatively new addition to the Wallaceville Estate community. Upper Hutt City Council consulted Wallaceville Estate residents on the design prior to construction, with feedback submitted by April 2025. The playground was planned to include a sealed surface suitable for a half basketball court and wheeled play for young children, with the goal of creating an all-ages space.
