Lets Play! - Cops and Robbers (Napier) Traditional Geocache

This is a recent, very cool addition to the Marine Parade experience.  Pack the bikes or scooters, now you can give the kids a real taste of being on the road, complete with traffic lights and round abouts. The playground nearby is fenced and fantastic too, so if you are in Napier, with kids, this is a place for you! There is parking by the playground, or park at the aquarium carpark and walk up past the cool new fountain.

KEEP LEFT! You are bound to hear during your visit. Despite it being about learning to follow the road rules, there also always seems to be a game of Cops and Robbers happening with the older kids! It often looks chaotic, but it is very rare to see an accident.  Children mostly have an innate sense of crash avoidance it seems...

While everyone is enjoying watching the fun, a grown up could turn the opposite direction and discretely find the cache.  Do not tie it. It goes around, then partly or completely through the loop to secure.  Please check it is well camo-ed again before leaving. Push cap on hard!

The Junior Bike Track has working traffic lights, stop and give way signs and a roundabout and offers children a realistic, safe and fun place to practise their cycling and road safety skills.

Bordering the May & Peter Harris playground, it is safe with a fenced perimeter and self-closing safety gates. Parents can enjoy bringing their children and bikes to the track, teaching them new road skills and then watching them practise in the safety of this facility.

The track caters for older children who haven't had much experience on the road to under three year olds, who can use a fenced matted space within the track specifically designed for little legs.
