Mark your calendars now for Whānau Fun on the Waterfront – where fun awaits kids and the young at heart as we celebrate the opening of the much-anticipated new waterfront playground.
Come along on Saturday, 14 December for some free family fun at the city centre waterfront. Organised by Tauranga City Council, there will be plenty of activities for the kids, including facepainting, colouring stations, and places to write letters to Santa (who is dropping by to say hello!) Gather the whānau and enjoy a free sausage sizzle plus ice creams for the kids to keep them fuelled and ready to explore.
The highlight of the day will be the much-anticipated opening of the new waterfront playground which boasts an impressive 8-metre-tall waka tower structure. There are four different playground zones to discover: a nature trail zone for climbing and balancing; the elevated pathway etched with the Milky Way and Matariki stars; a water play zone with troughs and water pumps; and likely to be a crowd favourite, the waka tower.
