Paula Darlington: Sport Whanganui spokesperson on the new initiative designed to get people into causal sport

Parks in the Whanganui region will soon offer visitors the equipment they need to get into casual sport.  Sport Whanganui and Replay are setting up 'Play Stations'- stainless-steel boxes holding basketballs, rugby balls and footballs available to borrow. Sport Whanganui partnership lead Paula Darlington says community-focused surveys showed there was clear demand for these resources. "These guys were saying- look, there's nothing to do in our parks, there's green spaces but how do we engage with them? We've been looking at ways to bring stuff to the parks."
