New $6.5 million playground for Manukau coming
Kia ora neighbours,
Hayman Park is set for a brand new four-story play tower (with a tunnel slide!), due to open mid-2023.
The park's $6.5 million development includes the 12.8 metre high play tower, soaring above nearby Takapuna’s play tower of 9 metre. There will be two cable, 33 metre flying fox, a 72 metre pump track loop for wheels of all kinds plus a bump track for those on training wheels, some of which will be ready by the end of this year.
The tower itself will have a rock climbing wall, rope tunnel bridges, climbing ropes and a rooftop seesaw.
There will also be an additional basketball half-court alongside the existing half court, due to popular demand.
Eke Panuku Development Auckland is behind the project, and have provided some architectural drawings of what the developments will look like.
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.

Hi everyone just a warning that I think I got scammed today. Went in to buy an extension cord came out with 4 pillows 3 sheet sets. 6 new towels. A frying pan a toaster. A electric jug. Dinner plates knife fork and spoon set it seems like they put everything on special and made the lay out off the store so I had to walk past everything before I got to the product I went into buy.
