Children, parents and grandparents gathered at Lake Hayes
Estate on Sunday for the settlement's first Party in the
Park, which raised money for proposed children's biking
facilities.
The small family-based community is hoping to raise $75,000
for a BMX track, and asphalt cycle path and some jumps for
children.
The plan was to raise a third of the total needed, apply for
funding for another third and approach the council for help
with the remainder.
The day included a raffle, silent auction with donated
prizes, a bouncy castle, face-painting and nail-painting, and
a Speight's caravan and 13 stalls spread throughout the
field.
