Wynyard Park

Once a parade ground for the army barracks, Wynyard Park has been open space since before Europeans arrived. During the second half of the nineteenth century it was an elegant residential square with a park in the middle. From the 1880s, it has been a public transport hub.

The decorated footpath

Paved footpaths are a familiar feature of our urban environment. Whether taking a purposeful walk, a social stroll, or a healthy jog, we expect the footpath to be there, providing a safe and sturdy platform beneath our feet. But pavements should not be dismissed as simply utilitarian.
