Lawrie Cooke Reserve Playground opens Sunday 27 November
Come check out the new playground in your neighbourhood.
This new park has been named after Lawrie Cooke, a man who spent his
working life – nearly 60 years – growing fruit trees for Hastings orchards, starting on this site.
Sadly Lawrie Cooke passed away last month.
Mr Cooke established a number of nursery sites across what we know today as Lyndhurst and wider Frimley, starting in the late 1950s with his wife Jan.
The nursery business has since been taken over by their son and daughter-in-law, and is one of the longest-surviving fruit tree nurseries still operating in New Zealand.
The new playground features a number of fruit-themed play features from a “fruit bin” climbing tower with slide, tractor and swings as well as shade and seating for the whole community to enjoy.
