Woodall Park Pump Track Update
Covid and some unexpected red tape have slowed us down a little but Rotary and friends are making excellent progress on getting started on the construction of the Pump Track early this summer.
Our thanks go to Gill and Gundry who will be trucking in metal and clay from a big project at Takapuna Grammar School.
Three big old willows will be removed early to make way for the track and replaced with new trees.
With generous support from Devonport Timber, the start jump structure will be constructed as one of the first parts of the track. The plan is to build a short section of the track early so it can be used while the remainder of the track is being completed.
Financial help will be needed from the community and a Givealittle page will be set up. We know the interested families will be generous so that we can get our youth into the park and away from their PB’s.
Thanks to all who have been so much in support of the project to date. Watch this space!”

Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
