The new pocket park on Waller Street has a secret agenda. Designed as a rain garden, it is constructed to help return excess water to the water table, rather than the storm water drains. Deep garden beds allow rainwater to soak through, filtering out pollutants and replenishing the water table. Plants absorb some of the water, creating a green environment and attracting birds and insects. The enhanced landscape also provides a perfect area for sitting and enjoying your lunch break, with some wide wooden benches provided for just that purpose.
An additional feature of interest is the old Onehunga Borough mosaic. This neglected small artwork has been lying, virtually disregarded, on the site for years. Carefully lifted, it has been replaced in the new path with the compass points correctly aligned, and provides an interesting talking point.
