Garden Guide Pages 4 Over 70 community clubs, organisations and wellbeing providers had their products and information available for those who recently attended the SWELL Seniors’ Lifestyle Expo. The annual Expo is aimed at celebrating the wellbeing and inclusion of Selwyn’s older residents, while keeping them up to date with the services and activities available to them in the district. The morning started out slowly but the Lincoln Community Centre soon filled as people turned up for the social and informative event.

NEW YOUTH ZONE UNDERWAY Selwyn is getting a dedicated Youth Zone at Foster Park in Rolleston. “Selwyn has one of the largest population groups under 24 years of age and this Youth Zone is part of the Council’s
commitment to make the district a great place to live, work and play, for young and old,” says Tim Mason, Executive Director of Infrastructure and Property. Foster Park in Rolleston was
recently recognised as the Active Park/Sportsground of the Year, at the Recreation Aotearoa Awards and Mason says that the new Youth Zone, as well as completing the Foster Park central area, will
put the finishing touches on a state-of-the-art community facility. The new Youth Zone is being constructed next to the destination playground on Broadlands Drive and will create an alternative user experience to add to the sporting activities provided on the fields and at the Selwyn Sport Centre. “The area is aimed at young people who may feel they have outgrown the playground, so they can try out different activities, while their younger siblings can use equipment at the destination playground,” says Mason, who points out that the parkour section will be the first of its kind in the district.
