Waitangi Park by Athfield Architects and Wraight Associates
Citation
The varied demands of pōwhiri, skateboard bowls, kids’ playgrounds, sports fields and cleaning stormwater runoff among others underpin a project that offers a delightful experience for active users, passive observers and daily commuters. The park confidently mixes the robust and the gentle, visual and aural, contemporary and historic to create a sequence of spaces that are at once intimate and particular while adding to the greater identity of a major new city facility.
