Papaioea Park

Description: This image was labelled Papaioea Park and may depict the park just before opening, as the long swing seems not to have been installed, but the framing is in place. The park is situated on the corner of Ruahine Street (formerly Terrace Street) and Featherston Streets. The land was acquired by the City Council circa 1921 -1922 and is about 9 acres in size.

This slide was likely created by David Evans of the City Council's Planning Office. M D (David) Evans was a planning assistant from 1955 to 1968, Deputy City Planner from 1968 to 1978 and Senior Planning Officer (Design and Development) from 1978-1988.
