Gore District CouncilÂ’s Ready for Living co-ordinator Kylie Aitken and parks and recreation manager Keith McRobie invite residents to drive through Bannerman Park on October 25.
From 1pm to 2.30pm residents will be able to view the gardens from the
comfort of their vehicles.
Miss Aitken said the event was popular earlier in the year when it was
held.
‘‘Many found it a great
initiative, so we have de
cided to run it twice a
year.Â’Â’
In February many
people got their friends
together and drove
through; including two
rest homes bringing vans
through.
More than 25 vehicles
took part and some came
through a second time as
they enjoyed it so much,
Miss Aitken said.
The feedback had been
very positive.
Parat Rest-home
manager Mary Pullar said
residents enjoyed the
drive through.
“That was awesome.’’
Mr McRobie said the drive through allowed people of all abilities to see the gardens.

Gore District Council Ready for Living coordinator Kylie Aitken and parks and recreation manager Keith McRobie invite residents to drive through Bannerman Park on Wednesday next week (October 25). From 1pm to 2.30pm residents will be able to view the gardens from the comfort of their vehicles. Usually a shut gate keeps public vehicles out of the park. Miss Aitken said the event was popular when it was held earlier in the year. ‘‘Many found it a great initiative, so we have decided to run it twice a year.’’ In February, many people got their friends together and drove through, including two rest-homes bringing vans through. More than 25 vehicles took part and some came through a second time as they enjoyed it so much, Miss Aitken said.
