Waipapa park, Hataitai

Sandpit!  Shade covers! Fully enclosed! Access to toilets and water on weekdays via attached community centre!

I spotted this park while at end of year party at the bowling club opposite the playground. It was the first 'new' park we visited on our playground challenge and it is a real find. 

Part of the reason behind the sandpit and shade sails is that the park is attached to the local Kindy. It is an excellent community space.

We were here for quite a long time. It was supposed to rain today, so the sunshine was a bonus. Luckily we had our sunhats with us and we could enjoy some good fresh air, despite not having any sunscreen with us!



I wish I'd bought a book with me as it was really lovely and tranquil. However, the children played do nicely it was quite pleasant just sitting alongside them, watching their play.

A really nice thing about this park is the two child sized picnic tables alongside the adult ones. I'm sure it is the influence of the Kindy, but it is really nice to see child sized furniture in a playground.
