Silo 6

The Silos that give Silo Park its name were giant containers used for holding cement. Golden Bay Cement occupied what is now known as Silo Six (the six closely grouped smaller Silos) while Silo Seven was just one of the Silos that made up the tank farm that was responsible for holding substantial amounts of the cement that built our fair city. Silo Park is now a free public space that can be enjoyed by both young and old.
