Victoria Park and the playground in Kaitangata will be closed on Thursday, 18 June 2026, while repair and clean-up work is carried out.

South Roads will be repairing the fence and swing at the playground, as well as clearing stumps and tidying up Victoria Park.

Last year’s weather event created damage and debris, so this work will help make the park safe, tidy and welcoming again for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks for your patience while this work is completed.
