Located in the Margaret Mahy Family Playground on the corner of Manchester and Armagh streets.

Listen to the artists describe the meaning behind these whāriki (woven mats which utilise traditional weaving techniques).

This whāriki represents the importance of our tamariki (children).

In this whāriki the top designs are Pou Manu or swinging posts that the tamariki play on. The middle designs are Rau Rongoā (traditional Māori medicine), healing leaves to be applied whenever tamariki are unwell, and for kai (food). The bottom design represents Ahikā (burning fires of occupation), the people at home, at work and at play.
