There's two that connect -- the southern half is the watercare coastal walkway <<https://www.watercare.co.nz/community/watercare-coastal-walkway/Pages/default.aspx>>, and the northern half (they lead on to each other) runs around Ambury and right along the coast to the bridges themselves. You can keep going across and onto the Onehunga side and onwards..

I dont know this is what you mean. The walkway from the old Mangere Bridge to Ambury farm is about 3 km. This is a concrete path suitable for bikes with trainer wheels. You can access this anywhere along Kiwi Esplanade. There is a nice playground by the boat club. This walkway continues all the way to Ihumatao village. You see lots of sea birds. Most of this walkway you can do in bits as road access is available at most points. Enjoy your walks..

Child Daycare in Smales Farm, Takapuna is amazing. They totally prepare children for school. Very creative and awesome playground. Staff are divine. Possibly a bit more expensive though but we found them well worth it.

Minimee on Bank Street, off Pupuke Rd in Birkenhead has been so valuable for our family. Caring teachers, a sound learning philosophy, new and plentiful resources including lots of outdoor play, chef making nutritious food, and milestones/special experiences are documented in their take-home learning portfolio as well as an online portal for families to communicate with teachers. My 3 year old is there and my 5 year old is a graduate - she has assimilated seamlessly into primary school this year thanks to Minimee. Call Kate 09 418 2770.
Hi all- l - where is the best bike shop for kids bikes around us? Looking for a 5-6 year old boy and would like to go somewhere where they have a good range of...
Duncan L. replied:
If you are limited to Warehouse bikes by budget then by all means go that way or even better, buy second hand. I recommend going to a dedicated bike shop such as Avanti or Saint cycles or Bike-lab. Big box stores like Bike Barn or Torpedo 7 are ok and all these stores have a better range of product and more knowledge.
Good morning everyone, im looking for a park in our area that has a cool playground and somewhere to ride bikes, recommendations???
John G. replied:
Hi Cheryl. Closest to Glenfield is Normanton Reserve and Lynn Reserve. A bit further away is Onepoto Domain. All have playgrounds and bike/scooter circuits. Or there is a new painted bike/scooter area at Greville Reserve on Forrest Hill Road. I don't think there is a playground there, but there is one nearby at Knightsbridge Reserve.

Anybody know of any good places to get ATV's/quad bikes/lawn movers? Know of the one in Kumeu/ Huapai but are there any others out there? Thanks!
Julia N. replied:
Yes Kristina Naden the service and pricing can be a bit hit and miss there. We get Colins Agri Services for all our repairs now and he's awesome. For purchasing they have a good selection I think.
