Home Reserve Playground on the corner of Home Street and King Street in Grey Lynn will be temporarily closed from 1st October 2020 to mid December 2020 while upgrade works are being undertaken.

Waitematā Local Board is proud to be delivering the Home Reserve Upgrade Project. During this time, we encourage you to visit nearby playgrounds, including: Grey Lynn Park, Nixon Park and Western Park.

From the week beginning 28th September 2020, there will be no access into the park from either Home Street or King Street entrances, whilst the works are underway.

The construction works are scheduled to commence Thursday 1st October 2020 and are expected to be complete by mid December 2020 or earlier if practical. The contractor engaged to undertake the works on behalf of Auckland Council is Ventia.

The works will include removal of the existing playground, earthworks, installation of furniture, playground edging and surface, pathway renewal and half court line marking. The existing overgrown vegetation will be replaced with a mix of low growing native species designed to attract birds and insects.

During the works, the contractors will be using digging equipment and transporting material into the Reserve from Home Street entrance. There may be some noise during working hours (7.30am – 5pm, Monday – Friday), but the contractors will aim to keep this to a minimum.

We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and will make all effort to minimise disruption.

If you have any questions about these planned works, please contact waitematalocalboard@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz

Coronavirus is more of a reason to sort out the stadium

Todd Niall Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Hi Neighbours, It's easy to say things shouldn't be done because we need to focus on Covid-19 elimination, but maybe that's more of an argument to sort out the stadium plan. Read the story below.

Many thanks, Andi.

Some of you may have read our previous notice weeks ago trying to rehouse our dog Nala. After finding what we thought was the perfect new home for her we discovered instantly she is not suited to be with small children, her behaviour became unpredictable, she’s just not used to loud noise and quick movements of small children, so we’re trying again. Sadly we need to rehome our dog Nala. Due to suddenly having too move house we are unable to take Nala with us
. Nala is a 2.5 year old Staffie X Pitbull she is de-sexed with up to date vaccinations. Our baby Nala is a sweet, gentle natured Girl who is toilet trained and knows all her basic commands around the house however, she tends to have her ears painted on when she gets outside. Nala can be quite timid/nervous around other dogs but with monitored introduction she’d be happy to make friends. Nala is very playful and friendly and loves attention. We’ve discovered that Nala is not good around small, young children and is better suited to older children and adults. Nala is a bit of an escape artist, left alone she can jump a 7ft+ fence. Nala’s always excited to see people and tends to jump up on people to greet them and she’s incredibly strong. She needs a firm hand. She needs a lot of exercise and a good off lead run. Nala is a really quiet indoor dog, a great companion who’s really happy to just hang and be a couch potato.

Many thanks, Andi
