New park benches, a permanently installed ‘Whale Tail’ sculpture, and a CCTV upgrade are three of the latest projects completed in the Māngere Bridge Village.

Each of the projects was organised by the Māngere Bridge Progressive Business Association (MBPBA) – and there’s more to come.

Bridging past and present

“We are currently working on installing a piece of the old Māngere Bridge on a plinth in Bill and Naomi Kirk Park, which will include a plaque describing the history of the bridge,” says Kate Adams, Village Manager for the MBPBA.

“Another project underway is the creation of an art-and-history trail from the new bridge to the village to join up with Māngere Mountain, to bring visitors along and into the village”, she says.
