Kumai Place in Sockburn- Named after a galloper, Kumai. Formed on a subdivision of the Riccarton Racecourse. First appears in street directories in 1993.
A small amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add about the name. There are 9 houses here all built in the 1990s but none of them stood out for me. Houses are only on one side of the street and there is a grassy green space on the other side. At the end of the street there is a walkway through to a small park and playground.
