Pop-up parklet trial to continue in the City Centre

Thank you to the community for supporting and participating in the pop-up parklet trial at the Bluewater Quay.

Feedback shared during the trial has indicated that the installation has improved the communities’ experience of the Bluewater Quay and highlighted the need to continue activating the City Centre and Riverfront.

It has also provided council with insight about other locations the community would like to see the installation at next. As a result, the parklet is now being purchased by council to allow this exciting trial to continue across other city centre locations before a more permanent home for the equipment is decided.

The parklet was relocated to areas along Wood Street from June 25, with the handball and hopscotch stencilling to remain at the Bluewater Quay.

Consultation will be opened for the new trial locations soon. Subscribe to project update emails to stay informed.
