Is Rutherford Park the right location for a destination playground?
A new “destination playground” for Nelson's city centre will be built in Rutherford Park after Nelson City Council agreed to the site by the Trafalgar Centre for the $3.824 million project at a meeting on Thursday. The decision is in lieu of a planned play space on Bridge St, at the site of the eBus bus hub. But, some councillors questioned the location, saying the council was committed to building a playground to help “activate” and bring people into the city centre, and Rutherford Park was too out of the way.
What do you think? Is Rutherford Park central enough?

Small grey rabbit found
A small grey rabbit seems to be living at our place quite a bit in Coleridge place. We have been unable to catch it but it leaves plenty of evidence around that it's here. 2 children recently enquired about their lost rabbit but have lost their details.
