Nelson City Council Kaumāta Luke Katu and Melanie McGregor led karakia for the opening of Tirohanga Whānui Park atop Bayview Drive this morning, 15 September 2023.
The name was offered by Ngāti Koata Kaumātua Committee and translates to "majestic views". It also serves as a metaphor for the visionary aspirations of youth and a call to look beyond one's immediate horizons.
Mayor Nick Smith, Councillor James Hodgson, and staff from Nelson City Council and Nelmac attended the ceremony.
The park features a giant swing, rope course, monkey bars, picnic tables, benches, a slide, height-adjustable basketball hoop, drinking fountain, fruit trees, and easily one of the best views in Whakatū Nelson overlooking the Boulder Bank and Tasman Bay.
