Auckland Council adds Greenwoods Corner Epsom Historical Walk to its list of Auckland Heritage Walks and Places of Interest.
Click here to explore Auckland Council's website, obtain further details about the walk, and discover some interesting history about the local area. Our new Historical Walk was recently featured in the August 2023 edition of Onehunga Community News. Click here for the full article on the Onehunga Community News website. We are delighted to announce the arrival of our new planters!
With the support of the Albert-Eden Local Board and Albert-Eden Neighbourhood Arts, Greenwoods Corner Epsom Business Association commissioned the installation of these beautiful planters in Greenwoods Corner Village. We hope that locals and visitors alike enjoy these vibrant green additions to the area. Greenwoods Corner’s new historic shield at the intersection of Manukau and Pah Roads provides an interesting glimpse into the past.
The area has seen a lot of change from its days of grand homesteads and sprawling farmland but still manages to retain a village charm that is not easily replicated. We are hugely grateful to Dr Helen Laurenson of the Epsom Eden District Historical Society for researching the content for the shield and to our friends at Epsom Dolls and Craft for painting the signage post. Greenwoods Corner Epsom Business Association is delighted to announce its installation of new
local area signage. “Welcome to Greenwoods Corner” and “thank you for visiting Greenwoods Corner” signs have now been erected along Manukau and Pah Roads. Our refurbished Greenwoods Corner Community Notice Board is even sporting the area’s new logo! A big thank you to Dr Helen Laurenson of the Epsom Eden District Historical Society who researched the content for our new local area history sign and to the Albert-Eden Local Board for their continued financial support.
During summer 2021 a new canopy will be installed by the Greenwoods Corner Epsom Business Association on the pergola at the crossroads of Manukau and Pah Roads (outside the former ASB Bank).
The pergola itself has already been sanded and repainted by some of our awesome volunteers, and following a vote at the Business Association’s launch event, the colour chosen for the new canopy was… black. Final designs for the canopy have been approved and fabrication will begin shortly. Watch this space! Over the summer of 2020 and 2021, Greenwoods Corner Epsom Business Association worked together with Chorus, 2Degrees and Vector to create a three-part native flora and fauna art installation to reflect the proximity of the Greenwoods Corner Business Area to Maungakiekie/ One Tree Hill. The enormously talented graffiti artist _G_A_S_P_ was commissioned by the business association to bring the vision to life and infuse some colour and vibrancy into three transmission boxes along Claude Road and Ngaroma Road. The three installations featuring tui, silvereye and kingfisher are unique in their own right and are well worth a visit in person to appreciate! |
