A Playground Transformation: Where Adventure Awaits!
The air was alive with anticipation as our tamariki eagerly watched the transformation of our playground unfold. Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen our once familiar space evolve into a fresh and exciting landscape, thanks to the creative minds at Playscape and the fantastic support from our BestStart property management team. Our playground makeover has brought to life two brand new whare, nestled among lush new gardens and soft green grasses.
These whare have become the perfect spots for imaginative play, as tamariki find themselves lost in worlds of their own creation—sometimes a cozy home, other times a mystical hideaway. The addition of a new bike track has quickly become a favorite! With wheels spinning and laughter echoing through the air, tamariki zoom around, testing their speed, balance, and coordination. Watching them conquer the curves and stretches of the track brings a sense of accomplishment and pure delight. It's not just a physical challenge but a place where friendships bloom and teamwork thrives. The revamp of our soft fall areas and old equipment has brought a fresh sense of discovery, allowing tamariki to explore in new ways while staying safe.
Clearing out the older fort and play structures made way for vibrant new spaces to grow—places where stories are shared, and adventures begin anew every day. Every day, excitement filled the air as our tamariki pressed their faces to the windows or rushed outside to watch the builders in action. The hum of machines and the sight of cranes lifting beams fascinated their young minds, sparking endless conversations and role-play games inspired by what they saw. Now, with the makeover complete, their faces light up not just with smiles but with awe, wonder, and a deep sense of connection to their new environment. It’s more than just a playground—it’s a space of learning, growing, and endless possibilities.
As our tamariki explore their refreshed surroundings, the energy and enthusiasm are undeniable. Whether they’re zooming on bikes, discovering new plants in the garden, or making up stories in the whare, their sense of pride and ownership over their special space shines through. We look forward to the endless moments of creativity, connection, and exploration that will be fostered in this magical new environment. Our outdoor space is a place where not just play happens, but where relationships grow, imaginations soar, and memories are made. We are deeply grateful to the team at Playscape and the BestStart property management team for turning this dream into a reality!
“He kai kei aku ringa” There is food at the end of my hands. (A symbol of resourcefulness, signifying that with the right support, we can create incredible opportunities for growth and adventure.) Our new playground isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a whole new world waiting to be explored! Come and see the magic unfold!
