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.
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.
