Dear Jacinda Adern,

Did you know that kids can get bored when walking around the inlet? Did you know that kids don't like it sometimes and just want to play? This is why having a playground somewhere along the inlet would make a kids day! There are so many exciting and good things to list about having a new playground by the inlet, but I’ll only list a few.

Firstly, I think and quite a few others think building a playground somewhere along the inlet would be great! I think many other children would enjoy taking a quick stop when walking down the inlet to have a play around on the playground, as well as in the little forts. If you're wondering about parents and would they complain if their kid(s) wanted to go to the playground A LOT. Well they could, play with their kid(s) or look at the view, we could include benches to sit on, or maybe they just sit down and relax. Children would enjoy this playground so much, especially since we have been stuck at home for a while.

Secondly, it will get kids out of the house and off devices for a while! Children can play for AGES on devices but they can play for EVEN longer outside, on a playground or on the grass. But during lockdown kids can’t really go out to play especially if they have no backyard. This is why having a playground close to a lot of streets and houses could be great! Kids can let out all they’re energy by playing on the playground, parents will get to go outside and play with their kids, see the pretty view if the tides are in, or just have some peace while the kids play. Getting kids off devices for an hour or so will be great for them.

Lastly, during the place we are in now not many people can go to work and earn money! So… For people that haven’t gotten a car, car isn’t working ETC. This playground is really good because people can just walk there (If you live quite close.) It also will get a tiny tiny bit of less petrol out in the air because people will be walking there, so it just helps that tiny bit to stop pollution.

To conclude, building a playground along the inlet somewhere will be AWESOME! I hope you consider building this playground and don't forget the mini forts.

Sincerely,

Neave.
