A fun "slice" of historic architecture
Home + Away is a playful public artwork for Hastings Park's Empire Fields. The structure harkens back to the old grandstands and scoreboards that were once a feature of the park.
After unforeseen delays in materials supply and shipping, fabrication on Home + Away is scheduled to start this winter, with installation anticipated between April to June 2022.
The 17-metre high sculpture echoes the iconic roller coaster structure and will provide comfortable seating for over 40 people to have an excellent view of the playing fields.
The artwork is funded by the City's Public Art Program, which commissions artworks for public places around the city.
