City playgrounds, skate parks and sports parks now smokefree
Just a reminder – all of the city’s sports parks, playgrounds and skate parks are now smokefree areas. The move by Wellington City Council is in line with what is happening nationwide. It aims to help our young people choose a healthy lifestyle and supports future smokefree generations. Research shows that the more children see people smoking around them, the more likely they are to take it up.

-         2 boys aged 8 and over
-         2 girls aged 8 and over
-         2 Mums
-         2 Dads 
-         A dinosaur! (youth or adult)
Some singing is required.
