fun for free: Grey Lynn Toddler Pool

If you are lucky enough to live in Grey Lynn you will no doubt be reading this with a takeaway coffee and Anika Moa's Songs for Bubbas playing in the background and you will know all about the great stuff for kiddos in your local park. If you are anywhere else in Auckland and you don't have a pool get on down to the free pool in Grey Lynn Park. It is supervised, shaded, next to a cool playground and safe for under 5's. We love it so. We have been twice this summer, the first time was before our beach holiday in January, Ada just dangled her feet in from the edge of the pool. The second trip we had the pool to ourselves, it was a cooler morning, Ada was all about it! I put Olive in too, she was sitting in a big ring we have, she seemed pissed off that the couldn't splash her hands, well it was that or the cold. Olive had a short swim...

Ada a year ago! What? Hi Grace!

You enter the Grey Lynn Park from the Williamson Ave entrance or down Grosvenor St, thwn you are right next to a great play ground, a skate ramp, basketball court and the paddling pool. Fenced. Patrolled. Shaded. Amazing! It should be open a few more weeks, here is the councils website with the guff.
