Starting up for chin-ups and sit-ups
A while back the Titahi Bay Community Group asked the community what sort of public exercise equipment they would like to see, and what was the best place for it. We fed that back to the Porirua City Council and it is now a reality, at the north (Dimock Street) end of Onepoto Park. Some of you have discovered it and it has been getting regular use. So come along for its official opening between 11 and 12 this coming Saturday (March 21). Wear your lycra and compete for the most chin-ups or the longest hand-stand.
