Toddler Playground Approved for Jean Sampson Reserve
I'm very pleased that on Wednesday the Kaipātiki Local Board approved the concept plan for the new fenced toddler playground at Jean Sampson Reserve! This has been several years coming and is now scheduled to be constructed between March and June next year :)
The playground will be fenced off to keep little ones safe and the playground pieces chosen are specifically for little crawlers, cruisers, toddlers and climbers. It includes: slides, a sandpit, tunnels, interactive panels and music pieces, tactile play corner, shadesails and nature play. The existing fire engine play piece is being refurbished and will be put back into the playground. The basketball court will remain where it is and the swings will be moved.
Thanks to Paula Gillon for her advocacy on this project!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
