Birkenhead War Memorial Park tracks now open!
Thankyou to everyone who came to celebrate the official opening of the new loop track through Birkenhead War Memorial Park!
The track has been upgraded to a standard to help prevent kauri dieback disease, including new bridges and boardwalks with fantastic views of the trees. The loop forms a step-free recreational track connecting into the shared concrete path that was built last year. The Mahara Ave entrance is just past the pump track and the Recreation Drive entrance is from behind Playcentre.
Thankyou to all of the council staff and contractors involved in the project, including reNature and Milton Harwood Construction. Thankyou also to Matua Shannon Leilua for the opening blessing and to Kaipatiki Community Facilities Trust for the opening event. The project was funded by the Natural Environment Targeted Rate and the Kaipātiki Local Board.
NEXT: The Kauri Glen Reserve tree-top bridge and track will be officially opened at 12pm Sunday 28 April.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

50% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
30% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
20% ... It is complicated
