New boardwalk open at Shepherds Park
Check out the new boardwalk along the water's edge at Shepherds Park. This is a replacement of the previous boardwalk, but has been built a little further out into the water.
There is step-free access from the end of Cresta Ave all the way to the end of the walkway, however there are then steps down to the beach or back up to the park. However you can retrace your steps and take a different step-free route to the lookout.
- Funded by the Kaipātiki Local Board.
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!

Merry Christmas, to You and your Family.
Hey, Murphy's Law, when you can't get help is when you need it.
Well, I'm putting my hand up to be there for you if a pipe leaks or something similar.
Or/and a window breaks - Front door lock jams....
Bruce 0212121480, please remember I'm trying to enjoy the company of the big man in the red suit too.
All the very best, I want all of you to have an extremely Happy Day. Eat yourself stupid and drink, well that's up to you. Please don't blame me.
I'm offering my services for the New Year break too.
Regards

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
