The Buckle Street underpass is complete and construction of Pukeahu National War Memorial Park will be finished by the end of March 2015, ahead of schedule.
Construction of Pukeahu National War Memorial Park is the last stage in the three year Memorial Park project where roads have been constructed, changed, upgraded and directed underground in the Buckle Street underpass.
The project is ahead of schedule and will be almost complete in time for the fourth and final LEARNZ field trip.
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 garden plantings are completed.
During the fourth field trip you will see the completed park, help prepare for Anzac Day 2015 and participate in the dawn ceremony to bless the park.
