Bartley Street Pocket Park
The reinstatement of the land where the Bartley Street toilets were into a pocket park space is currently underway.
Bricks from the demolished toilet block are being reused for a retaining wall around the cypress trees at the front, while the remainder of the section will be converted to a grass lawn.
I stopped for a quick chat with the bricklayer today who was busy cutting away the hardened mortar from the old bricks so they could be reused for the new retaining wall.
The Kaipātiki Local Board will later be considering future options for this space.
Background: The Bartley Street toilets had come to the end of their life, and following public consultation, the Kaipātiki Local Board decided to build replacement toilets down the road at Jean Sampson Reserve rather than rebuild them at the Bartley Street site.
