'Back in the Day Play' - Botanic Gardens

Join us for a day of classic schoolyard and holiday retro games!

We will be setting up in the Botanic Gardens in Manurewa (on the South Lawn in front of the cafe) for a day full of games and play.

Celebrating play for all ages, we will be hosting all sorts of classic games and play activities we all remember playing back in our youth:

- Hopscotch games
- Tug of war competitions
- Board and card games
- Egg & spoon races
- Classic wooden games and puzzles from 'Pop's Games'
- Obstacle courses
- Stickball and other other ball games
- Schoolyard games of all flavours
- All sorts of other games and play for all the family :)

Bring a picnic and make a day of it!
