Dog Park Whangarei Accessibility
I just sent an email to WDC about the Whangarei Dog Park as below
Disability Advisory Group New Zealand
We were invited to do an accessibility assessment of the public Whangarei Dog Park off Dave Culham Drive. I use a mobility scooter and struggle to walk even 50 metres.
I have a golden retriever I love the park I decided to leave the dog at home as I would be working
On 9th June 2018 I approached on my mobility scooter from Te Matau-A Pohe I came down the Hatea Loop extension
When I arrived at the park there is no footpath access. It is not good having to ride the mobility scooter on the main road Dave Culham Drive to get there this road is busy narrow and no footpaths.
I got yelled at as I left with a lady hanging out a car window yelling at me to get off the road. I am not on the road by choice we need a footpath from the Hatea Loop to the dog park.
See photo below the mud was created by a four wheel drive that had earlier got stuck, there is no possibility of riding the mobility scooter to the park. Meaning the only way to access this dog park is to use the mobility scooter on the road, this is a narrow road so that is not a safe option
Can you please explain to me why disabled people were not coincided when the Hatea Loop extension bypassed the dog park. Really we need about 15 metres of path as soon as possible, I would like your feedback please.

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!
