Getting around the event site:
The event activities are planned to be easily accessed from the sealed driveway that runs through the park. There are slight gradients at each end of the driveway but is it flat through the food service area.
From the driveway you can access the path that will take you to the Pohutukawa area (harbourside of the park) which features entertainment and stalls.
There are a number of other paths that go to other areas of the park and some may be difficult for wheelchair users due to the materials used on the path or their current condition. Tree roots make some paths uneven and overhanging tree branches may need to be negotiated.
Given that the festival is in a park, some of the activities are on grass such as the Main Stage and the Rose Gardens.

Positive Change is about learning how to change the self talk that informs your stories about yourself. If you are challenged by moving forward in your life and know that you are your own biggest barrier, this course will help you to build on stories that support you and to change those that are not useful. Learn more about your strengths and challenges and how to turn your weaknesses into opportunities.
