Poll: What do you want to see at Hamilton gardens?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

The Rhododendron Lawn is proving a talking point when it comes to plans for Hamilton Gardens.

Hamilton City Council would have the lawn turned into a car park, and more themed gardens built on the site of the current main car park. Events would be moved to another lawn - Governor's Green - or an amphitheatre.

People are for and against this transformation. Where do you stand?

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.

A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
