'); } else { // } Volunteers at Te Puna Quarry Park are feeling a great sense of relief and reassurance now a new security system has been installed following a series of thefts. The volunteer-run park, which is open year-round and is free for the public to visit, sees thousands of visitors come to explore its many gardens with special planting areas, outdoor art, walking tracks and bush area. But a major theft in 2018 left the park committee and volunteers shaken, when $40,000 of equipment was stolen from their workshop over one weekend.
