Residents of Hamilton have a new green space to explore after the Mangaonua Gully erosion control and restoration project was completed in December last year.

Silverdale Normal School Kapa Haka and local restoration group Friends of Mangaonua were front and centre at the celebration held in December 2023, which paid homage to the mana of the gully and the restoration work that had been done.

Thank you to Hans Hockey who has provided the photos attached.

This restored gully looks out across the Ruakura wetlands and connects with the Silverdale area at Chelmsford Park as well as the Silverdale Road and Morrinsville Road intersection. 

We encourage to take your children for a walk through the gully.  You will be amazed.
