Mangakakahi Community Park - Brion Matthews

**View in Full Screen

Rotorua is known for the cultural and tourism ventures. This however is problematic as the people of Rotorua experience the place, and the culture from a different perspective. 

Rotorua needs an initiative aimed at the community. The Rotorua District Council is aspiring towards achieving the following: Community: Integration; Ecology: Revitalisation; Culture: Celebration; Crime prevention: Safety. 

The Mangakakahi Project undertakes the simple task of unveiling the park areas to the surrounding community and to the people of Rotorua as a whole. The existing attributes of the area are virtually unknown to the public. It is commonly only used as a thoroughfare or a dumping ground by the surrounding residents. 

It has so much potential, only if it was more focused to the needs of the people who would use it.
