Fresh install alert! ⚠️🚨📣☀️🏞

Check out this recently completed playground upgrade at Allan McBride Reserve in Gate Pā featuring custom-installed shade sails by Making Shade!

We love how this custom design transformed the play area, turning a hot, sun-drenched space into the ultimate cool sanctuary. These vibrant new sails are part of a broader playground and reserves upgrade programme designed to protect our tamariki and whānau from the sun while they enjoy the park's fresh features.
