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?

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
