Work is well underway on Stage 2 of the Greenslade Reserve project which is designed to increase stormwater capacity to support the new housing in the area, and includes lowering the sportsfield and daylighting the stream at the northern end. Work on stage 2 is due to be completed in October 2021.

This work forms part of the wider project that will daylight the underground stream and form the Te Ara Awataha greenway through Northcote.
