Project objectives
Stage two of the Margaret Mahy Family Park development included much-needed shade sails to protect users and equipment from the harsh summer sun.
Shade sails
The shade sails for the park are designed specifically to work with the positioning of the sun to continuously provide shade in the most critical times during the day. The design incorporates natural aesthetics, reminiscent of leaves. Each column represents the stem of a flower/tree, and has been finished with a glossy dark grey with glitter that sparkles in the summer sun.
Seating
ENI manufactured seating arrangements (designed by Walkspace Ltd.) for park partons with benches and tables that are also wheelchair accessible.
