Well, someone pick a day that suits. let's go for somewhere with wet weather protection. i'm not liking the weather or trusting it at the moment.

greenlane seems to far to go in. unless i was to train in maybe. but the play ground at mcd's manukau is really good now too.
Chipmunks was fine when i was there on saturday. toilets were clean as far as i could tell. i really like it there, but that's just me. i keen for mcd's manukau or sylvia park, but not this week or possibly not next either. i supposed to be resting as much as i can... -------------

i think its called plant barn now on walters road, takanini, there is a cafe in there with a play area i havent seen it so not sure how good it is, might just be a playpen with toys in it i cant imagine them having a playground the autobahn has a good playground ------------- http://lilypie.com">

autobahn is bombay is that right? I know where you mean now. Do you know, it is blue & sunny out one side of our house, & black & getting blacker on hte other side. Horrible when you got a sick kid as well. There only so much you can do to entertain them right -------------

There is one at bombay but there is one at the end of my road too, half way between the papakura and drury motorway turn offs

oh bummer. i didn't even realise ther ewas playground there. But it's not covered did you say? I'd be keen to go there sometime. It only like ten mins away by the time i get on motorway it only 2 mins. lol. surprising how long it take to get to the motorway. i really like the play ground at central park here in papakura. it's great if it's not wet. but yea, has a little kids area as well. Vincent likes it there coz it's fenced & he can run around as much as he likes. lol. -------------

oh good idea, we could have a picnic there if there is ever a sunny dry day!
it kind of does have a cover but you have to walk outdoors to get there so its pretty exposed to wind etc, playground there so no where near as cool as the one at central park ------------- http://lilypie.com">
