Rangitikei District Council strapline

Haylock Park

Background

Haylock Park is located between Walker Crescent and Johnston Street in Bulls. The land was purchased by the Rangitikei County Council between 1985 and 1986 in three separate property settlements. The funds for these settlements were provided by Dr O.F. Haylock and Council.

The surviving records do not contain much evidence describing the specific purpose of the land purchases. Some documents refer to it being used as a park, others a reserve, and others a domain. These purposes are not specifically described and they are not conditions of purchase.

The documents indicate that the land was purchased to fulfil general community and recreational purposes. Council’s view is that Haylock Park is a park for the purposes of the Local Government Act 2002.
