Our new exhibition about Garden Place will be opening soon on Level 3 of Central Library.

Learn about the history of Garden Place, from its beginning as the hillside garden for Kirikiriroa Paa, to its removal in the 1930's and today's use as a public square.

Explore the story of our special place through a carefully curated selection of images from our Archives, stories gleaned from the Waikato Collection, and unique artefacts that bring to life the history of this place, highlighting the stages in its journey from garden to public square.
