Project summary
What we're doing
We're redeveloping Boyes Park into a multi-purpose park for recreation, play, rest and other outdoor activities in the central city. The park will include connected pathways, flat grassed areas for rest and play, shady trees, interpretive signage celebrating the rich history of the area, and the refurbished Dame Hilda Ross Memorial fountain.
Why we're doing it
Boyes Park sits in the wider Western Town Belt project – a large 54-hectare site in the centre of Hamilton and an important public open space that can contribute to delivering the city’s open space needs.
As an important central city park space, the redevelopment of Boyes Park will provide new amenities, including spaces for community play, sports, and recreation.
Frequently asked questions
What's the West Town Belt?
The West Town Belt is a 3km long stretch of green space in the central city, encompassing 10 parks, the historic Hamilton West cemetery, FMG Stadium Waikato and Seddon Park. It's one of Hamilton's largest continuous open spaces, and provide a green link between Lake Rotoroa and the Waikato River.
The West Town Belt Masterplan outlines a 30-year plan to guide the development of the Belt, "stitching" it back together and enhancing the value of the connected green space for the community.
