A playground in a residential area of Napier has a new addition. But it’s not a swing or a slide.
A fence which borders Fitzgerald Place Reserve and is a few metres from the reserve’s playground was recently painted in Mongrel Mob signage and colours.
The mural is a fresh addition to the Maraenui property, understood to be a gang pad, which has for years hung a distinctive sign of a patch from its second-storey balcony.
Napier City Council maintains the park, which also borders Percy Spiller Ave, but a spokesperson said the fence was on private property.
