The Buckle Street underpass has been finished and the building of Pukeahu National War Memorial Park is underway. The park will be finished by the end of March 2015.
The building of Pukeahu National War Memorial Park is nearly finished. This has been a three year project where roads have been built, changed, upgraded and put underground in the Buckle Street underpass.
The project will be finished early and will be almost complete in time for the fourth and final LEARNZ field trip in March 2015.
Take a look at Field Trip 1 in November 2013 to see how the project has progressed.
During January and February 2015, Pukeahu National War Memorial Park has been turning green as trees and plants have been added.
During the fourth field trip you will see the finished park, help plan for Anzac Day 2015 and take part in the dawn ceremony to bless the park.
