A new video hopes to show Memorial Gardens as a suitable site for big events.

The city’s Community Services department has released a Memorial Gardens Transformation video which shows all the work that goes in to changing the rink from a Battalion game, to a convention centre and more. Chair of Community Services Mark King says now it’s up to the promoters to bring the big events in, but he also says there could be something coming down the pipe soon.

 

 

He says the city has committed to one large event in the next year, and there should be an announcement soon.
