The children’s Fun Day at Centennial Park is now in its fifth year.
Children in the Mahurangi district will be the focus of an afternoon of events at Centennial Park in Wellsford on Sunday March 6.The annual Fun Day, organised by the Wellsford District Sport & Recreation Collective, will run from noon to 4pm.
An organiser, Lynette Gubb, says the emphasis of the day is on fun and affordability.
For a $3 ticket, children can participate in any 10 activities. They can also vote for their most popular activity – the top three activities run by a not-for-profit group will each receive $250 thanks to the sponsorship of Doidge’s Tyres, Quik Auto Services and Silver Fern Farms.
As well as a range of inter-active activities, there will be a wet and wild slide, jumping castle, petting zoo, horse and cart rides, and free fruit for children, donated by the Peach Patch at Te Hana.
“The day is about celebrating children and encouraging families to have an enjoyable afternoon together,” Lynette says. “It is not a fundraiser, but if there is any money left over, it will go towards the Centennial Park walkway project.
“We have plenty of room at the park so if any business or community group would like to be involved, it’s not too late.”
Children’s Day is a national event celebrated on the first Sunday in March. It provides an opportunity for New Zealanders to set aside time to praise and encourage children, explore new experiences and activities, and share love and affection.
Organisers thanked Pub Charity and the Oxford Sports Trust for their support.
