Omana to host fun day for kids
Relevant offers
Sunday is a day for the kids at Omana Regional Park in Maraetai.
The normally serene seaside reserve will be humming with families making the most of the many free Children's Day activities.
A magician, aqua bubbles, clowns, face painting and horse-and-carriage rides are but a taste of what is in store.
Park ranger Mags Ramsey says Omana Children's Day is a great opportunity for city kids to enjoy country life for a day.
"There will be lots of friendly farm animals to meet, tractor-trailer rides, sheep shearing and some good, old-fashioned games including horseshoe and sponge throwing," she says.
Older children are also catered for.
Manukau on the Move will be there with its BMX obstacle course, and the popular Scout village includes a rope bridge and water slide.
This year's programme includes a talent show.
The show will feature the unique talents of young people from Beachlands and Maraetai.
Parking and entry is free, as are most activities. Some games and rides cost a few dollars.
There is no eftpos available so gold coins will be needed. There will be food stalls or families can take a picnic.
Omana Regional Park is a great family park, with picnic spots, camping, safe swimming at high tide, and easy walks. The regional park is between Beachlands and Maraetai.
