One of the great things about living in Parklands is there are lots of parks. Great if you have children who like to swing, slide, run or need a safe place to ride a bike. Fantastic if you want to take a walk or go for a run. The Parklands Reserve on Queenspark Drive is big and a perfect place for children to play. It's located near the Parklands Library, so there is another plus.
If you are in Parklands on Sunday 19th February, come over and join the fun. The library van will be there, with Storytimes at about 4.30pm. Watch out for a certain Gruffalo in the place!
If you have a bike, pedal along for a bike check and try the bike obstacle course. Local sports clubs will be there so you can have-a-go. A great way to try a new sport and maybe join a local club. Kelly Sports and Waimairi Golf Club will be there, so you can try SNAG and putting golf.
Would you like to try out the bubble balls and mega slides? What about pedalmania or table tennis? Did you enjoy watching The Karate Kid and secretly wish you could learn karate? What's Zumba?
The pre-schoolers are welcome too with Toy Library ride-ons, story time, bouncy castle, messy play and face painting.
Do you own a ukulele? Have you always wanted to try one? Then join in with the Ukulele band. Maybe you prefer the sound of brass. Have a go at playing wind instruments provided by Northwest Brass Band.
By now you are probably feeling a bit tired and hungry. There will be food for sale including a Devonshire Tea tent.
Will I see you there? I hope so. I'll be the one with the camera.
