Rātana Pā - Playground and Whanau Space in the Rangitikei

$2,087 of $20,000 goal
Given by 27 generous donors in over a year

This page is raising funds to update and upgrade the playground at Ratana to a safer, multi generational space for the whole whanau.

Manawatu / Whanganui

The Ratana Community Playground was built in 1998. When it was opened it was a source of pride not only for the community but for the followers, Nga morehu, that return every year for our January celebrations and other events throughout the year where thousands descend on the community.

Today the space is in need to a complete redevelopment. The committee has started the process of this redevelopment and completed the plans and budget for the new safe playground and whanau gathering space.

This space is designed for multiple generations, with separate area for our babies and toddlers, play structures for the older children, a full basketball court as well as a shaded BBQ area where our whanau, Kaumatua & Tamariki come to sit and watch, share stories, have a laugh, make memories, build friendship and strengthening whanau.

Use of funds

The funds will be spend on the playground equipment and civil works required to redevelop.

Any surplus would be spend on the playground and whanau space or this page would be closed early if sufficient funds have been donated.

Kia hiwa ra, Kia hiwa ra … Kia Ora Whānau,

Ngā mihi nui o te Tau Hou ki a koutou katoa.

Our Ratana Playground & Whānau space would love to share with you all the start of it’s first phase of development with our ‘Civil Works’ team early this morning, along with a karakia whakamoemiti from Uncle Jack 🙌🏽 to kick start a safe & healthy work environment.

Please note during this time due to heavy machinery and hazardous conditions, can we please keep our ‘Tamariki’ safe by ensuring this area is out of bounds from the construction site until further notice.

Otherwise stay tune for updates on Our Ratana Playground Whanau space development in the coming months 🥳

Woohoo 🙌🏽
