The new equipment is part of the playground currently under construction by local company Campbell Infrastructure.
"We're hoping to have the new playground finished and open to the public in December this year. Delays resulting from the recent Covid-19 lockdown may impact this but we'll keep you posted," the council said.
The lakefront playground equipment currently open to the public will remain open over the upcoming school holidays.

The council said it was initially thought this would need to be closed so work on the new toddler play area could begin, but the work programme had been revised and work on the toddler play area would begin after the school holidays.
"So if you're in Rotorua over the holidays why not come down to the lakefront and have a peek at the new playground that's really starting to take shape."
