The Bulls Kindergarten's new playground is finally finished.

Landscape plans were drawn up in January 2015 and the playground upgrade began a year later.

Once the landscaping phase was over, full-on fundraising started so the final stage could be completed.

Last month - after many hours of hard work by parent volunteers on the kindergarten committee and huge support from kindergarten families and the wider Rangitikei community - the children are loving the new space for the first time.

Total Landscape Solutions brought the vision to life with a new sandpit, storage shed, plantings, a working kitchen sink, paving, a large deck and a water wall.

Head teacher Kerri Osborne said the children are absolutely loving exploring and experimenting with all the space has to offer.

The kids say it's "like being at the beach", she said.
