The Playground committee in partnership with Clutha District Council has come full circle since November 2021 at our first Community information gathering session on site. We now have a fully refurbished, fenced, safe inclusive play space for all to enjoy. Our destination playground is a huge asset to Lawrence which would not have been possible without our local volunteers, Clubs, businesses, fundraising initiatives & major funders. Thousands of voluntary hours have been spent on this project & it is a pleasure to see that from far and wide Tamariki can enjoy it!
We invite you, our community to come and celebrate this amazing achievement.
Any queries about this event please contact Keily Smith 022 438 4404 or Natalie Wark 4859 771
