Empowering Community through Art and Play: The Silo Park Art Court
Eke Panuku envisioned a reinvigoration of Silo Park's basketball courts, drawing inspiration from Te Ara Tukutuku, the concept of interconnectivity between land and sea. Parklife, a leader in creative courts and spaces, partnered with Eke Panuku and the project team to bring this vision to life.

The court's design reflects deep cultural significance. Whetu (stars), representing the guidance of ancestors and references to Pōhutukawa, weave a story of connection to place and the environment (te taiao). This project, at 1700m2, holds the distinction of being the most significant Art Court in Aotearoa, fostering a powerful sense of community pride.
With a commitment to commissioned designs, Parklife translated artistic vision into reality. Expertise in technical detailing, craftsmanship, and seasoned experience ensured a visually stunning court that prioritized user needs.
The court provides a durable, non-slip playing surface suitable for basketball and futsal. This focus on functionality ensures the court serves the community for years to come.
The Silo Park Art Court exemplifies a successful collaboration between culture, design, environmental values, playability and functionality.
