{"status": "ok", "message": "Success!", "html": "\u003Cp\u003EAs a parent to 3 young children (6, 4 \u0026amp; 2) who grew up in the region myself (thank god peppermint park and fantasy glades existed then!!!), it really saddens me that there is such a lack of family facilities within the Hastings.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003ETimbertown could be such a wonderful place for families locally and visiting families also, it just needs management, community and council vision to take it to the height of possiblity.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EI want my children to understand the history of this area, my family have lived here for generations, kids need interactive and fun activities that teach at the same time to achieve this.... YES Timbertown is about our past, and it always should be, but it NEEDS to save this area from the shallow excuse for a family holiday destination that it has become.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EFrom travelling central Australia last year I missed the hastings, but it feels like such an empty space to raise my kids. Yes there's the beach, but with the small pitiful and sometimes unsafe children's playgrounds and the indoors play venues (nobody can afford to visit there all the time or would want their kids indoors every weekend) there has to be a way to create an outdoor haven for families and visitors alike to enjoy an abundance of activities and fun.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EStop thinking about teaching the past at Timbertown, it goes without saying that's the main aim, but branch out to consider what else could be on offer here for both old and YOUNG!!!\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EMusic events - these would work so well at timbertown and very few music events are family orientated these days. Day and night concerts and festivals.\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESkating Rink - That's one of the fondest memories many have of peppermint park.\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESummer Drive in or deck chair Theatres - Surely there is enough land to create a unique outdoor theatre it would be great for summer.\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFamily Market Days - with egg and spoon races for the kids, old time show bags, buskers and local stalls\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELocal Farmers Market - What's to stop it being moved to timbertown every couple of months?\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EKids HOliday workshops - Learn knitting, painting, drama any number of things that kids love, let them learn about things children did in the past in a fun hands on way.\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERides - As others have said, I think rides are an important part of growing timbertown.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EThat's just a few ideas for starters, there is so much  more that could be created.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EDo I think the entry price should increase - YES!! Not currently, but once improvements are done certainly, you can't take a family anywhere for $12 and expect it to be great, but if there were new rides and attractions then it would be worth paying more just to have the option of having somewhere fun and interactive to go.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003ETimbertown may be about the past, but we need to give it a bright and youthful families where young and old in the Hastings can create memories, because as it is, the lack of family facilities in this area is the one thing that ruins it and makes families want to move away.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003E \u003C/p\u003E\u0026nbsp;"}
