Windy Ridge Playground - Construction Underway
The new playground at Windy Ridge Reserve is beginning to take shape!
The playground includes a treehouse adventure course; pergola swings and basket swing; climbing hut; hammock; nature trail with balance beams, windmill poles, boulders, and stepping logs.
The park will be fenced with gates (rather than just the playground). There will also be a picnic area with BBQ, tables and shadesail; community library; new path through the park; new trees; and space for a community-led garden.
Funded by the Kaipātiki Local Board through renewals capex and locally driven initiatives (LDI) capex.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
