About the project

McPhee Park’s new playground and toilet facility is officially open!

A massive thank you to the Hāwea community for taking part in the opening ceremony on Friday 1 August 2025. It was a beautiful day for kids (...and big kids) to get stuck into the new playground along with plenty of sausage sizzles!

Background

Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) employed the services of a professional contractor to complete detailed design and construction of a new community playground at McPhee Park, Hāwea Flat.

This playground was a community led project through the ‘Playground Sub-Committee’ of the Hāwea Community Association. In addition, QLDC funded the inclusion of a new, single unit, dry-vault toilet facility at McPhee Park.

Thanks to the Hāwea Flat community for their patience while we worked to improve community facilities in our district.

Who completed the work?

QLDC engaged experienced professional contractors, Creospace Ltd (Creo) for the playground. Creo have already created three play spaces in our district including Rotary Park on the Wānaka Lakefront at 51 Mt Aspiring Road. 

Dan Williams Construction Services Ltd was engaged to install the new toilet. Works to install the toilet facility and playground took place concurrently.
