The city council is seeking feedback on proposals for Radley playground, in Woolston and King Park playground, in Mt Pleasant, until November 6.
Both of the playgrounds are reaching the end of their lifespan and will receive new equipment for a range of ages and abilities.
Radley playground was built at Riley Cres in the mid-1980s.
Before that, the area used to be part of Troutdale Farm, where Andrew Mensal Johnson bred the first brown trout in New Zealand.
The farm was a popular picnic area until it closed in the early 1930s and a number of the original trees remain in the park today.
There is a plaque along the Heathcote riverbank that commemorates Andrew Mensal Johnson.
The city council has proposed new equipment that is suitable for both the park setting and the community, including swings, a slide, a carousel, a see-saw, and a fish-rocker.
King Park playground, which is off Quarry Rd and Rangatira Tce, dates back to the 1930s.
Proposed equipment includes new swings, a slide, a "space shuttle" with rope climbing, and a choice between a dinosaur rocker or a kiwi rocker.
Once the consultation period has closed for both playgrounds, the project team will analyse feedback and produce a report with a recommendation to the Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board.
A decision from the board is expected sometime in April 2019 and if the plan is approved, construction of the playgrounds is likely to start in May or June 2020.
