Randwick Parks New Playground
I tēnei ata i te Rāhina i whakamoemiti mātou i te papa takaro hou kei Randwick Park.

It was a special morning today where Rangi McLean blessed our new playground that has just been built beside our beautiful building Manu Tukutuku …Randwick Park Sports and Neighbourhood Centre.

A massive thanks to The community of Randwick Park, the children of Randwick Park School involved in the design, the Randwick Park Residents Association, the youth leaders, DIA, our Manurewa Local Board Chair Angela Dalton and Councillor Daniel Newman who have stood beside our community to advocate for our park, skate park, building and finally our playground. Blessings and Thanks To You All who have been part of this journey.

Appreciative Inquiry

Strengths based Approach to Planning and Evaluating in Communities.

“In his work in Randwick Park, Manurewa, Dave Tims has seen AI used to assist his community to grow and change. The AI approach inspires people to identify things that could be changed, get involved in the work to effect change and also to monitor the changes. Dave says that, “If you follow the process, it creates ownership and responsibility – the people own the mission and become responsible for implementing it.”

In 2017 Randwick Park won the NZ Community of the Year Award.

An amazing story of transformation and development.  Dignity brings Dreams, Dreams enables Hope and Hope brings Dignity.  Jesus brings Mana – Mana instead of shame, Mana instead of poverty, Mana instead of pain.
