New shade sails at Monarch Park playground
Shade sails have now been installed over the playground at Monarch Park, Hillcrest 🙂
The orange and black colours are in keeping with the "monarch butterfly" theme at the park.
As part of this project, the junior playspace has been relocated so it is also covered by the shade.
While you're there, check out the little library, nature play in the bush area, and keep an eye out for fairies!
Entrances to the park can be found on Moore Street, McDowell Cres, Monarch Ave and Mannering Place.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
