Te Reo Names for our Parks
The Kaipātiki Local Board is working with mana whenua to restore Māori names and narratives to a number of our parks and our three libraries as part of Auckland Council’s Te Kete Rukuruku programme. Some parks will officially have dual names (both Te Reo and English names), while others will have sole Te Reo names.
Last week the local board approved Shepherds Park, Beach Haven, as being a flagship park with dual naming and full bi-lingual signage throughout the park that will be celebrated with a whakarewatanga/launch event. This is expected to be later this year or early next year.
The local board also approved the name "Wai Manawa" as the official Te Reo name for the whole Little Shoal Bay Reserve and Le Roys Bush Reserve area. Wai Manawa had previously been included as part of the name identified by mana whenua for the Birkenhead lookout Kaimataara ō Wai Manawa, which looks out over Le Roys Bush Reserve. New signage will be installed throughout Le Roys and Little Shoal Bay reflecting the dual names.

Mike and I have about 90 years experience between us. There is nothing we can't do around your home. Do you have sticking windows and doors, Aluminium and Timber, catches and handles broken or stuck? Garage Doors included.
Letterboxes a bit wobbly or broken, numbers missing, we still need to find you even if the Postie has gone AWOL.
Kitchen and Bathroom need some maintenance, doors water damaged, hinges not working properly, handles missing or broken. Bench tops tired or want to change the look? Gib installation, plastering and painting. Or a complete remodel.
Weather board replacement or tidying up, painting outside too.
Concrete paths and drive a bit cracked and broken, we can sort these problems also. oil stains an eyesore.
