With your support – one last final push – Ponsonby Park will be funded for Stage 1 to begin the realisation of our civic open space at 254 Ponsonby Road (Liquor King site).
The ‘Long Term Plan’ is NOW open for public consultation and submissions, until 28th March.
Please support the community’s chosen LandLAB whole-of-site civic open space design for Ponsonby Park in your submission. Chosen BY the community – FOR the community.
Please submit to the ‘Long Term Plan’ and say YES to the full site civic space at 254 Ponsonby Road.
The considerable amenity and value the new ‘Ponsonby Park’ civic space will provide for the local community, not to mention our national and international visitors, is immense. In Stage 1 the LandLAB design cleverly repurposes the existing canopy to provide an all-weather shelter for events (hopefully, a local farmers market too). With the addition of the green-roof and green-walls, plus the extensive permeable surfaces, it will also help protect our harbours from stormwater run-off and the consequent sewerage overflows that inevitably result from heavy downpours. The Swale will also help mitigate stormwater runoff whilst being a beautiful and natural feature.
Ponsonby Park will be an exemplar of sustainable and best practice design that will be an attractor to Ponsonby and will also provide much-needed amenity (including loo’s!) for the community. We are excited about this transformative development, facilitated through the inclusive Community-led design process that so many people have been involved with and supported over the past 2 years.
Our thanks to EVERYONE who has been part of this process and who have supported our volunteer work!
Additionally, the CLD group wishes to thank the Waitemata Local Board for initiating the Community-led design process (that resulted in the brilliant LandLAB design) and for then selecting Ponsonby Park as their ‘One Local Initiative’ (OLI) for inclusion in the Long Term Plan for funding.

‘Ponsonby Park’ will enliven and beautify Ponsonby, create a focal point for both our local community and visitors as well as providing a civic heart – a place to meet, chillax, play or to be entertained and uplifted (and it will help protect our harbours through sustainable water mitigation).
Thank you.
