Lake Moananui

Lake Bridge at tainui Street end.

Events are held at the lake, such as is shown in this video.

A view of the lake from the water.
The video is a bit wobbly due to me being on a canoe and using my cell phone to record the video.

From time to time the local council has the lake drained to kill off the seaweed, or to do repairs etc. 

I homeschooled my children, and one day I took them down to the lake and decided to video what we did and also for historical reasons show the lake on video as well. The foot path was new at this stage, now in 2026 some of it has been replaced due to it cracking, and the tall old wooden fort with the long steel slide is gone.

Another family video of the lake. The most noticeable thing here is that there is no path to walk on in 2008.

There is  small island.
