Why we're doing it

We want to supply younger Hamiltonians with safe and fun play spaces so they can enjoy living in our city. It’s essential we keep these Council-owned assets in good condition for all who use them.

These projects will

  • Make public spaces nicer for all of us

  • Make Hamilton a great place for kids
