Pram crossing on Liberty Crescent

Auckland Council has constructed a pram crossing on Liberty Crescent as part of Connection 5 of the Pohutukawa Coast Trails from Omana Regional Park to Pine Harbour. It links Liberty Park and Te Puru Park. This is in response to community request for the connection across the road which can be used by wheelchairs.
