Mission Bay’s Tagalad Reserve has been returned to local board ownership and everyone is invited to come and look around, hear about possible uses, and enjoy free kids’ entertainment and facepainting. There will also be a coffee cart and doughnuts. Entrances are at 9 Tagalad Road and 6 Nihill Crescent.

On 2 May, the Mission Bay-Kohimarama Residents Association and the Ōrākei Local Board attended Auckland Council’s Governing Board meeting to ask that the reserve be removed from Auckland Council’s Schedule B so that it is no longer considered for sale, and that it be returned to the local board’s governance.  This was successful, and Tagalad Reserve will once again become a public recreational reserve and community hub for the community to use and enjoy.
