Eskdale Park is many things to many people a unique playground where generations of locals and out-of-towners have picnicked, swum and played for more than 100 years. We are now at risk of losing this wonderful area, say Friends of Eskdale Park committee members Janice and William MacFarlane.
Eskdale local Trina Bergloff-Howes founded the group, now an incorporated society, in response to the Hastings District Council s 2018 release of the Hawke s Bay Mountain Bike Club s (HBMTBC) plan. The plan includes the building of a hub , car parking for 200 and a swing bridge situated near the current site of the park s toilets.
