Playgrounds still off limits to keep the community safe
Extra signs and security tape are going up throughout Hamilton to remind people the city’s playgrounds are closed to keep our community safe.
Hamilton City Council closed the playgrounds, including skate parks and basketball courts, when the country went to COVID-19 Alert Level 3 on 23 March. The Government has ruled playgrounds out of bounds under Alert Levels 3 and 4.
The measure is not only to discourage people from different bubbles gathering, but also because the virus can remain on hard surfaces for up to 72 hours.
Mayor Paula Southgate says playgrounds were shut to safeguard the community but not everyone is getting that message.
“It amazes me that people are prepared to risk their health and the health of their community by pulling down tape and removing signs. This gives kids the impression playgrounds are open, which is just not true,” Mayor Southgate says.
“While it’s tempting to relax our vigilance after so many weeks, we actually need to increase our efforts now more people are out and about. And we also need teens and caregivers to be aware of that.
“If we end up with lots of children from different bubbles using the same play equipment, we could also end up with the virus spreading through our community. That’s exactly what we’ve been working hard to avoid – no one wants to go back to Level 4.”
Hamilton’s parks and walking tracks are open, so children and caregivers can still enjoy the city’s open spaces if they want a change from their own backyard.
The rule is to keep play local but children can still run around outside, play tag, have leaf fights, take their scooter to the park, kick a ball around and enjoy the autumn weather, as long as they stick to their own bubble and stay two metres away from other people.
“We’ve worked hard to keep our playgrounds fun and up-to-date but they’re not the only way to play,” says Mayor Southgate. “We just need to stick it out for a while longer, and then we’ll all be back enjoying the city’s green spaces to their full potential.”

Good God What has happened to the collective common sense of our people. Surely Council should not need to spell this out, but yes, tape around our parks is broken, people are wandering around them and kids are playing in them. There are heaps of unsupervised kids wandering the streets doing what they like. Its insane. I'm over useless, lazy, brainless parents putting everyone in danger whilst other parents are doing their best to amuse and educate their kids at home and out of danger.
I'm sick of level three too , but it just needs to be done properly or we will end n level 4 again.
I'm just gobsmacked that there are people out there too lazy , too selfish , too entitled and too brainless to conform. How pathetic.

From 11am NZST on Thursday 30 April until Sunday 17 May, Artfair.co.nz will be hosting a Virtual Art Fair where you will discover more than 30 galleries from New Zealand and Australia displaying works that would have otherwise been seen at the 2020 Auckland Art Fair.
The Virtual Art Fair is in recognition of the artists who have already made special works for the Auckland Art Fair that couldn’t happen, and the galleries who have supported them in doing so.
“It comes at a time of global uncertainty, when the importance of art, community and culture are especially apparent,” their team said in a recent statement.
The Auckland Art Fair is designed to be “a celebration – as best we can – of the talent and diversity of art making by artists from our region; not only across New Zealand and Australia, but also around the wider Pacific-rim. We hope that, wherever possible, some of these artists and galleries will be supported by someone buying a work of art.”
Browse, look, enquire and consider as you get to know new galleries and artists in support of contemporary culture at a time when the artists and galleries really need it.

Hey Hamilton, we love playgrounds and going for a skate just as much as you! But they’re closed for a reason, please continue to stay off them until it’s safe for us all to play again!

We cycle together quite regularly around Rotokauri and surrounding rural districts - me on my hand cycle and him on a road or mountain bike. He’s pretty motivated but just needs a reminder on changing gears and a bit of a mentor. He’s 18 and has a small intellectual disability but is capable and fit on the bike and it would be great for him to have a different cycling buddy to help him keep fit and active. Contact me on tperry@perry.co.nz if your interested or leave me your details on here. Thanks

You could use a chair like this in a home office, as a plant stand, or as a bedside table for your books and lamp. Painting one chair is an easy way to inject a bit of colour into a room too.
