Closure of part of Pemberton Park from Oct - Apr 2025
Notice from Tauranga City Council - Pemberton Park Closure
As from October this year until around April of next year the Cricket area of Pemberton Park will be closed for the installation of new irrigation, new grass and lighting.
The Council have also said that some of the trees on the edge of Yatton Street will also be removed to allow more sunlight and three new trees will be planted around the reserve.
Access to the rear of the Park from Yatton Street will be available.
Nb: Hopefully the Council will also be installing some seating around the Park as the current seats at the top of the hill are great if you don't want to hear the game and want to breathe in exhaust fumes from all the traffic on Fraser Street.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
