Parking: Kowhai Dog Park
I imagine as part of the provincial growth fund, work has been going on around the Kowhai dog park. The most recent "improvement" is marked car park spaces outside the park. Except, in my opinion, these car parks reduce the amount of parking available and are designed by someone who never visits a dog park.
Reduced parking: at the first entry to the park, driving toward Lake Horowhenua, there are now two car parks that run parallel to the fence. So you can park two cars - until this "improvement", up to 5 cars would be parked in that space, at 90 degrees to the fence.
The new parallel parks: we take our dog to the park in a small car. A lot of other owners have large cars or utes. The new parallel parks provide minimal/insufficient space to get your dog in and out of the car if they cannot fit in the boot. We always found that people parked their cars considerately and there was never an issue - until now.
Ill thought out, zero consultation and a waste of time and money.
I encourage you to contact the council if you share my misgivings.

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!
