The design to be painted by Castlecliff Artist Mike Marsh. Mike describes he design as "inspired by an amalgamation of design elements submitted by local tamariki. The design is oriented to reflect its environment giving expression to O’Kupe’s important position at the mouth of Te Awa Tupua. It includes the Maunga, the Awa, the Moana with te Rā and te Marama. The design also uses rainbow colours to reflect inclusivity and diversity. The design encourages all members of our community to feel included and responsible for this area and the well-being and safety of all who use it."
