Silo Park

This guide to Silo Park turns two decommissioned cement silos in Auckland's old tank farm into the centerpiece of a harbourside park. It traces the site's decades as working industrial land, sand barges and fuel storage from the 1930s, its abandonment after the 2003 America's Cup loss shifted the city's ambitions west, and the decision to keep the silos standing rather than tear them down. Stand on the grass facing Silo seven to see where the projector throws its picture after dark.
