Overview

Auckland City Council, in co-ordination with park users, has developed a draft landscape master plan for improvements to Michaels Avenue Reserve in Ellerslie.

The draft landscape master plan aims to build on existing plans for improving Michaels Avenue Reserve. It proposes to develop a multi-use reserve that balances the increased demand for formal sports with the need for informal recreation.

Existing plans for the reserve include:

improvements to the layout and surface of lower playing fields
new dedicated all weather training and junior football area with associated lighting
new public changing facility.

Proposed improvements in the draft landscape master plan include:

improvements to pedestrian and vehicular access and circulation
new play areas with combined fitness and play equipment
vegetation improvements including wetland planting
new landscape features to unify the three landscape character areas
sustainable stormwater treatment systems
increased car parking.
