Park Up!

Following the tradition of the anti-Bypass guerilla gardens, come join us and be a part of a new Te Aro ‘Park Up!’ on November 21st on the corner of Abel Smith and Willis Streets from 10am-4pm.

Bring tools, lunch and plants (eg. hebes, karamu, harakeke, ngaio, akeake, taupata and rengarenga) for a fun day of reclaiming public green space and  blotting out the Bypass with trees.

Transit promised this land as public greenspace in their bypass plans, but now managed by a subcontractor who has been using most of the greenspace as a carpark for roading maintenance vehicles since 2006/7. The Wgtn City Council has even surprisingly donated us a few plants to regreen the space. Let's take it back!
