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.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
