The name of the path is a Rangitāne whakataukī:
Tini whetū ki te rangi, ko Rangitāne nui ki te whenua. Like the myriad of stars in the sky, so are the people of great Rangitāne upon the land.
The kowhaiwhai pattern was designed by Rangitāne Tohunga Whakairo, Warren Warbrick.
This project spans approximately 2.2 hectares and is visible from Te Motu o Poutoa (ANZAC Park), which is a site of great significance to iwi and home to some of the best views of the city.
The path contains small stones which absorb the light during the day and then cause the path to glow at night.
