Understand it is a flood plain but surely it can have some specimen trees such as kowhai, Kahikatea, pukatea, puriri, taraire, kohekoh, totara, pohutakawa etc. Especially around the edges where the flood plan would not be compromised at all. Combine this with a walking and cycling track underneath that has shade and does not need to be mown. Good for people and biodiversity. Could create a great space for the likes of frisbee golf etc and more use.
Cloverlea Recreation Reserve
10 Jackson Place, Pukekohe 2120
Access notes
Description explicitly states the surface is artificial throughout and the flat layout is straightforward with a pushchair, though no toilets or dedicated accessible parking are confirmed.
What's here
Cloverlea Recreation Reserve's playground takes a different approach from the usual swing and slide setup, built around climbing mounds, a see-saw, a rocker, a climbing wall, hanging rings and balance equipment near the reserve's scenic retention pond. The ten and a half acre reserve in Pukekohe also has a flying fox and wooden climbing forts, and well maintained walking trails around the pond.
