The long Easter weekend started off with a bit of light exercise for dozens of excited children cycling along the Tukituki Cycle Trail - being closely followed by their parents at The Little Easy.
The Central Hawke s Bay event and 12km route on Friday started at Russell Park, Waipukurau, and followed the cycle trail east towards the 100m swing bridge looping back round to the park to finish. The main event, The Big Easy, is set to draw upwards of 1000 people for a new loop route starting at Church Road Winery in Taradale on Saturday.

The sites are RSM Park, Dan Phelan Park, Sunnyside Park, Melaleuca Park and Russell Park. At the ordinary meeting this week, councillors voted to start the statutory process to reclassify these parks. This will involve community consultation. In his report on the issue, the council s manager of property and economic projects, Mike Perkins, said the council managed about 351ha of green space, including sporting fields, parks, playgrounds, streetscapes and environmental reserves. The expense associated with the maintenance of these areas is a significant cost for council, he wrote. There is high demand for residential land in Casino and an opportunity to use any funds from sale of surplus community land to invest in upgrading facilities that have high community usage.
