Waipara St in Cracroft – Named after the Waipara River. In a subdivision where the streets are named after rivers and sheep stations in North Canterbury. First appears in street directories in 1964.
A small amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add about the name of the street. Most the entries on Papers Past were ads. The houses here were built in the 1960s and none of them stood out for me. The Waipara Playground was on this street and I liked the seat made out of a tree stump. I remembering finding a geocache here a few years ago. At the end of the street before it turned into Waiau St there was a colourful street pantry.
