The Mosaic People are an artwork in the gardens of the Te Puna Quarry Park. They are made from small pieces of broken crockery and tile chips. The People are located near the start of the walking track.
Te Puna Quarry Park is being developed by a dedicated band of volunteers from a disused quarry into a world class park.
This former scar on the hillside is now a place of special beauty. From the upper levels there is a spectacular panoramic view out over the Bay of Plenty. There are ponds, tree ferns, cymbidium orchids by the thousand, native tree plantings, exotics such as vireya rhododendrons and a natural amphitheatre.
Special areas being developed include irises, cacti and succulents, an Australian area, a native arboretum, a bonsai corner, a South African area and a palm grove. Featured throughout the park are stone sculptures by local artists. The quarry has now become popular as a venue for outdoor art exhibitions, concerts and weddings. The walking tracks are easy for the moderately fit.
