Just under a year ago, we were proud to work alongside Whanganui Basketball Association to install two new hoops at Castlecliff Domain as part of Basketball New Zealand’s Hoops in Parks initiative.  Community kaitiaki embraced the new hoops and since their installation there has been a massive increase in rangatahi using the court to play basketball and be active.

There have been 60 drowning fatalities in New Zealand already in 2023, according to Water Safety New Zealand.
