FIRE at Dominion Park Playground
My husband & I were out for a walk when we saw smoke billowing from the public toilets at Dominion Park Playground. We immediately called 111 & help plus a fire engine was there very quickly. 2 boys were seen running away from the scene & another child volunteered their names, which have been passed on to the Fire Brigade. Perhaps these 2 boys will be exhibiting signs of guilt or bravado. Whether there will be any follow-up I'm not sure, but they were said to be local. Perhaps all parents should talk with their children about the dangers & stupidity of fire & similar vandalism
What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?
Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.
A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
Lest we forget...
On this ANZAC Day, let's take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.
