“The new playground has been inspired by the sea and some of the local creation stories. You will be able to learn and reflect on how Māori and European settlers made Te Tihi-o-Maru, Timaru, an important stop on their journey, and their home. The ancestral waka Te Ārai-te-uru wrecked near Moeraki. Passengers including Aoraki, Pātītī (Patiti Point) and Tarahaoa and Hua-te-kerekere (Big Mount Peel and Little Mount Peel) became the hills and ranges to the alps of Te Waipounamu, The South Island . The playground will share this story by reproducing ancient rock art and a kai trail with mokihi shaped seats along a river path and information boards.” - Francine Spencer. CPlay Member.
