Goodwin Park

This reserve is 0.3769 hectares in size. It is located off Goodwin Avenue in the north western area of Morrinsville. It is bounded to the north by farmland, to the south, east and west by residential property. The Operative District Plan does not otherwise identify Goodwin Park as a Reserve.  It is in the Residential Zone. History In 1961 the reserve was declared Crown land when the surrounding land was purchased by the Ministry of Works from Mr M Sain for State Housing.  Goodwin Park was vested in the Morrinsville Borough Council as part of the subdivision a year later.  The reserve consists of a large flat grassed area on a thirty-degree decline.  It was once used as a go-cart racing track but in 1996 it was re-contoured to become a recreation reserve.
