A cultural asset building -v- lost inner-city green space - what do you think?
- INNER-CITY WELLINGTON
- RIDDLE: WHEN IS A PARK NOT A PARK? (WHEN IT IS A BUILDING?) What do you think about a Fale being built on Frank Kitts Park - would it be a cultural asset or a lost part of the city’s waterfront green space? Why think about this? This is a really important decision for inner-city residents, particularly, because we don’t live in leafy suburbs with a garden, and berms and pavements at the end of our drive. And we don’t have big nearby public playing fields like many of our outer neighbourhoods. Our streets are vertical, not horizontal. Many of our homes are in the 125+ high rise apartment buildings located in Te Aro/Wellington Central (with more to come). There are already 17,000 of us living here, and double that in the near future. So land where we live is scarce and there’s no room to build big new parks in our part of town. So what does that mean? It means that the two public parks we have - Frank Kitts Park and Waitangi Park - are very special and a bit precious (and Frank Kitts Park has already had to allocate future space for the Garden of Beneficence). These parks are where inner-city residents take their kids, walk their dogs, sit in the sun and read or think, or kick a ball around and play - they are our parks 24/7 not just where we sit to eat our sandwiches in the middle of our business day before leaving town. So what do you think? Should the Council consider building a Fale on Frank Kitts Park? Or … could it be built somewhere else on an alternative site? You decide Please do take a moment to think about this because it’s your views that the Council wants to hear … so why not share them while you can. If you love the idea, let them know - if you are not so sure, let them know - and if you don’t support it, then let them know. In the words of The Mandalorian - this is the way … (democracy works) What are the pros & cons? … here are two views to read: Read what WCC says Read what this inner-city resident says Then ‘Have Your Say’ It’s easy - just click the “have your say” link and start typing … (before 5pm Monday 10 April) LINK: Have your SAY
