Is Rutherford Park the right location for a destination playground?

Katie Townshend Reporter from The Nelson Mail

A new “destination playground” for Nelson's city centre will be built in Rutherford Park after Nelson City Council agreed to the site by the Trafalgar Centre for the $3.824 million project at a meeting on Thursday. The decision is in lieu of a planned play space on Bridge St, at the site of the eBus bus hub. But, some councillors questioned the location, saying the council was committed to building a playground to help “activate” and bring people into the city centre, and Rutherford Park was too out of the way.
What do you think? Is Rutherford Park central enough?

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!
