Have Your Say: Prince Regent Drive Playground
Howick Local Board wants to upgrade the Prince Regent Drive playground in Half Moon Bay. This is a popular local playground and it's time for an upgrade.
Last year the Howick Local Board responded to local requests for urgent maintenance. At the time we promised we would return to do a bigger upgrade, in line with our new playground strategy.
We heard loud and clear from residents that we need to have more interesting play options available that cater for a wider range of ages, as well as ensuring they’re more inclusive and accessible. This is an opportunity for more specific feedback on this playground so it meets the needs of the community.
We want to improve the playground design to make it suitable for children under 5 years.
As part of the upgrade, we will also add learn-to-ride elements.
We want to know:
how often you use the park
if you use other playgrounds
what activities you want to see included in the playground.
You can have your say from Thursday 24 September to Saturday 24 October 2026.
