An aerial pathway from tree to tree in the southwest corner of the Queenstown Gardens is just one of the 24 proposals the Queenstown Lakes District Council received when it asked the community for feedback and suggestions on its new reserve management plan.
QLDC community services manager Paul Wilson said the management plan would shape the council's policy decisions on the gardens.
He would have liked more positive feedback, he said.
"I'm pleased we got some.
"I suppose people are waiting to see the draft plan before they make comments on it," he said.
Adrenaline Forest director Jean Caillabet, of Christchurch, said the company intended to discuss with the council the possibility of constructing an aerial pathway in the gardens.
He said the management plan should provide for commercial recreation activities in a limited area of the gardens.
"We consider the Adrenalin Forest commercial recreation activity is unique because it is actually located in the tree canopy and would not interfere with passive ground level recreational users," he said.
Queenstown Disc Golf Club chairman James Smithells said the management plan needed to recognise frisbee golf as a valuable asset to the gardens.
But Henry Barker, of Frankton, said the council had been "crazy" to allow frisbee golf in the gardens.
"I believe the council could be liable if someone is injured by a flying frisbee disc.
"The locals and visitors are frightened to walk in the gardens in case of being hit."
Proposals were varied.
Mr Wilson said feedback from the community was needed before a draft plan could be developed so all issues, concerns and suggestions could be incorporated.
It would take six to eight weeks to collate the suggestions and write a draft plan, which would then go out for public consultation for at least 45 days.
A hearings panel would consider the submissions and a final plan would be prepared for adoption by the council, he said.
