HERETAUNGA PARK (pond)

Laurena from Totara Park

Does anyone know why the Heretaunga Park (off Kiwi Street in Heretaunga is in such a mess. I usually go there to get oxygen weed for my fish but about 2 months ago I noticed it was in mown and clearly in great need of cleanup also the water was not fresh looks oily basically yuck and parts stagnant. It is usually a lovely place with a childrens park across a bridge over a stream. My main issue is that there is no actual safety warning that the ponds edge is over grown with weeds and clearly its thick silty mud as I found out on the weekend i went for a closer look i actually stepped in with 1 leg and sunk to my hip i managed to reach on to lift my self back out it was definatley an experience a little funny too just quiely i would of been so embarrassed but due to the state of it there was no one in sight except my friend. I would hate to read in the leader or see on the news or even on here on neighbourly that a child or another person has done the same but worse a child could drown. Please MAKE HERETAUNGA PARK BEAUTIFUL AGAIN.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
