Children are being challenged to swing, whirl, and dash their way through the Timaru District's 43 playgrounds these summer holidays. JOHN BISSET/STUFF The WuHoo Timaru Play43 Challenge at the Cornwall St playground is to "twirl with a friend on the merry-go-round". Fauth and husband Chris had already taken their 5-year-old daughter, Medinella, on a tour of the 43 playgrounds. Despite growing up in Timaru, Fauth had no idea the district had so many playgrounds until about six months ago. "When I tell people we have 43 playgrounds, it's quite fun seeing their eyes almost pop out of their heads," she said.
