North Shore parks closed due to kauri dieback

Brittany Keogh Reporter from North Shore Times

Hi neighbours, Auckland Council has partly or fully closed several North Shore parks - Awaruku Reserve, Emlyn Place, Alice Eaves Scenic Reserve, Gills Road, Lady Phoenix Reserve, Paremoremo Scenic Reserve, Three Streams Reserve - because of concerns about kauri dieback in the area. Do you use these parks? How will the closures affect you?
