Big flood alright, I use to play soccer on that Park

Irene Perks
It should be still a trotting track
Kerry Keating
Damn right Irene. The sods charging to high to lease the ground. A great little doctors clinic in Albert st closed for the same reason. We had an international household goods chain close a shop here in Rotorua for that reason. DUH.

Wayne Leckie

Marcus MaddenMarcus Madden You sound like you agreed with my post Marcus. We should all demand my post be reinstated and the truth be out there for all to see. As it is, it's preventing freedom of speech. I never thought that would happen on the Coast. That's favouring the ones killing the Coas
