The grass looks good however there are areas were the birds ate large patches needed to be reseeded. The moulds still growing.
Some of the issues, the grass needs water to grow and since the good drainage it had to be hand watered. The council still needs to put in a water tap by the shelter which would make it easier to water patches.
The GOOD NEWS, so many people loved the dog park and missing it.
# Tony Gill will be doing dog training lessons at the small dog park soon.
# Whangarei District Council now knows dog owners are important in the community.
# Other councils in NZ are watching the progress.

Where:At the small dog park .
Riverside drive, park at the skate park toilet block and walk across the fields to the bike ramp building, then walk left long the Hatea loop path to the small dog park. (8 minute walk). make sure you pick up what your dog does :-)
Bring your training gear and you will be shown the best way to use your own gear.
Also bring any dog treats, "optional"
Thanks Tony Gill

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

This month is all about supporting our young people, to encourage and empower them to not only be the change-makers and community builders of tomorrow but also the best versions of themselves. To listen to their perspective and remember that it’s not just about what we can teach them, but what lessons they can teach us. After all, the recipe for creating healthy, happy children includes a lot of the same ingredients for building safer, more resilient and connected communities.
Want to share your thoughts?
Let us know how you’re supporting young people in your communities this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Bridget Simmonds, 42, was reported missing on March 6 by her family when they grew worried she hadn't been in contact - something they said was very unusual.
She was last seen when she was dropped off at Countdown on Kamo Road, Whangarei, by family at about midday on February 23.
Bridget was last seen wearing a dark-coloured singlet and black jeans, and had three large black and grey backpacks with her. She has a large distinctive tattoo on her upper left arm of a fairy tangled in vines holding an orb.
Anyone with information as to her whereabouts can contact Detective Constable Joseph Reuben on 09 945 4733, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Read more here.
