A huge THANKS to Meridian Energy for supporting the Lower Waitaki Water Sports Park and our community. 🛶⛵🙏🏼
Through their Power Up Community Fund the pond was able to purchase new life jackets in a range of sizes to keep our users safe on the water. 🌊😁
Papakaio School took them out for a test run on Friday! 👍🏼

🔴PSA TO POND USERS🔴

The current water supply to the ponds bathroom facilities is unusable. The toilet is still available for use but please use a bucket with water from the pond to flush the toilet and for hand washing.

We are working to resolve the issue. Apologies for the inconvenience.
