Explore Street Art in Porirua City
We have beautiful street art across Porirua City and you can discover more of it with the inaugural Street Art Explorer activity which kicked off this month.
Running for all of October, 20 murals around the city have been included in a special explorer booklet for young and old to visit and learn more about the street art around Porirua.
There are questions to answer and a corresponding rubbing at each mural. Once you’ve collected three rubbings, you can take your booklet to Te Rauparaha Arena reception and be rewarded with a free Arena Aquatics child swim pass.
To participate, pick up the Street Art Explorer booklet and crayon from the Council front counter in Cobham Court, or any Porirua City Library.
