Vili Place – Named after the Reverend Tumama Vili and his wife, Elisapeta. The Vilis arrived from Samoa in December 1985. Under their leadership, the Samoan Congregational Christian Church purchased land on the corner of Linwood Avenue and Dyers Road and built all the church buildings. The church was opened in June 1998. The congregation wished to name the street after the Vilis so they would always be remembered. The cul de sac provides access to the church. Named in 2009.
That was a lot more information that what I was expecting from the library website. There looked like there was a school here as well as the church.I am assuming that the white stones in the photo are to stop people from parking on the grass.
