The Opening of the Catalina Cafe, Community Space and Information Centre Opening was a great day.

The new Catalina Café was bursting with people, and kids queued up for ice-cream, face painting and the bouncy castles, and the new nature- themed playground was a big hit with the kids. The playground contains sculptural elements of supersized native plant seeds made from steel that children can play on or in, and also serves as a ‘living classroom’.

While the children were kept entertained, parents wandered through the new Information Centre, where they could get details about the plans for Hobsonville Point.
