Landmnarks Square

Landmarks Square is a pocket park in the central city named for Landmarks, a Council and community initiative focused on the enhancement of the Hastings environment.

Backing onto Fun Buns restaurant, the pocket park includes all-weather artificial turf, a permanent stage, seating, planting, new toilet facilities, lighting, and a spectacular sculpture, 'Prunus Awanui' by local artist Philipp Meier, representing a cherry blossom.

The park honours the late Hastings mayor Jeremy Dwyer, who introduced the Landmarks philosophy in the 1980s to fulfil his vision of bringing Hastings city back to life after difficult economic times.
