Barry Curtis Park is a park named after Barry Curtis in Flat Bush, Manukau City of which the first stage was opened in April 2009.[1] At Шаблон:Convert, it is one of New Zealand's largest parks, of a size as has not been established since the Auckland Domain in the 1840s.[2]
The park is currently (2010) only half-completed, with an investment of $17 million (as of 2009)[2] having gone in the sections that are already open or are still being formed and landscaped. Completion is expected around 2022, while the new suburb grows around it.[3] The park was created from a part of a large parcel of dairy farming land the Manukau City Council bought from the Anglican Church Trust Board, at $2.9 million for Шаблон:Convert total.[1]
The park is the central piece of a 'Green fingers' network of parks that is being established (mostly aligned along around 45 km of streams and creeks draining the Flat Bush catchment). The ecological system involved consultation with groups such as Forest & Bird and the Auckland Regional Council. The water systems also work as stormwater ponds, and have been fitted with fish ladders to ensure connected water habitats.[2]
The park (in the already established section) also includes event spaces[1] and large playgrounds for children, with a multi-sports centre, playing fields to be added in the future. The park is to establish a network of educational trails in addition to the main routes.[2]
