Alert : Playgrounds Closed
Following the Prime Minister’s announcement that the country is now at level three alert and will go to level 4 alert at 11:59pm Wednesday (25 March) our number one priority is the well being of our communities and staff. The announcement means that our playgrounds are closed, however people are still allowed to go out, on their own, for fresh air and exercise.
The Paeroa Railway Reserve is so named as it originally had the old Paeroa to Thames railway line running through it. That line has since become part of the Hauraki Rail Trail.
