The Kaipatiki Local Board​ has increased the budget to continue our programme of installing shadesails over playgrounds! 🌞

We’ve earmarked the following priority playgrounds to receive full-coverage shade over the next 12 months:

• Birkenhead War Memorial Park, Birkenhead
• Monarch Park, Hillcrest
• Rewi Alley Reserve, Totara Vale

Plus Shepherds Park, Beach Haven, is already underway!
And we’ll continue to add shade where we can as we upgrade other playgrounds (more on that later).

Shadesails are so important as they both protect children from the sun, and protect the play equipment from getting scorching hot.

Supported and funded by the Kaipatiki Local Board, Danielle Grant, Paula Gillon, Anne-Elise Smithson, Adrian Tyler, John Gillon. #ShadesailsOverPlaygrounds #SunSmart
