Situated beside Bay20 Community Space on St. Marks Road, the gardens were refurbished in 2024 and opened under the theme of ‘Life Under the Westway: Maxilla Gardens’.
The innovative garden design features an abundance of winding greenery for wildlife, with bespoke furniture and repurposed materials used to create the pathways and features, inspired by the industrial development of the past.
The main feature of the garden is its interweaving pathways shaped like a dual helix, which threads through the space, embedding the DNA of the community throughout. One path represents society, and the other represents the environment, symbolising the intersection of socio-environmental challenges and solutions.
The garden is at the crux of community development – poised as the front garden of Dale Youth Boxing Club, Bay20 Community Centre and the incoming Maxilla City.
