Jean Sampson Reserve Toddler Playspace Underway
Work is now well underway creating a new toddler playspace at Jean Sampson Reserve, Northcote Point. The shade sail poles are installed, and when I visited recently, the pathways and adventure trail were being formed. Work is on-track to be completed in late-May/early-June (weather permitting).
The Kaipātiki Local Board has re-imagined the playground area as a fenced toddler playspace, with slides, tunnel, sandpit, talk tubes, climbing and imaginative nature play. There will also be shade sails, seating, picnic table, plantings and the current swing will be upgraded to include a basket swing. Importantly, the memorial fire engine will be cleaned up and relocated within the new playground, and the basketball half-court is staying.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
61.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
22.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.1% ... It is complicated
