Better connections around the Manukau Domain are on track to be unlocked by late April/early May with a new walking track.
The new paths, consist of a new track, linking with the Opened Stone sculpture, and a second path connecting to the existing Manukau Domain track.
Chair Ella Kumar is excited for the improved connections on the domain.
“It’s great to see so many Puketāpapa projects in action, such as Waikowhai boardwalk and coastal tracks, as well as better connections on Manukau Domain.
“We live in a beautiful and coastal part of Tāmaki Makaurau, and the board is providing investment to unlock greenspace for the community to enjoy these picturesque spaces.”
The new 133-metre pathway is the result of early advocacy from Lynfield residents.
Opened Stone is one of five artworks created as part of the 1971 International Sculpture Symposium. The red granite sculpture by the late Japanese sculptor Hiroaki Ueda was inspired by traditional Shinto shrines.
The sculpture stood outside the Auckland Art Gallery for 35 years and was reinstalled in Manukau Domain in 2016.
