Save Chamberlain Park Stanley Palmer, renowned Auckland printmaker and painter, has generously donated Tower to be auctioned in a bid to raise funds for legal costs by a group of concerned Aucklanders to stop Chamberlain Park from being developed by the Albert Eden Local Board.

Save Chamberlain Park Inc want to see the seventy eight year old golf course restored and preserved as a shared green space. To this end, since 2015 they have been battling the local board who wish to spend $30 million replacing the existing 18-hole course with a 9-hole course, playground, astro turf playing fields and potentially an aquatic centre with supporting carparks and roadways. Examples of shared green spaces which work well are Hagley Park in Christchurch, Richmond Public Golf Course in London and the home of golf, St Andrews Links in Scotland. Chamberlain Park is one of only two public 18-hole golf courses servicing the entire Auckland region. It plays an immensley important role in providing access to the sport to those who cannot afford to join a private course. It is one of the busiest courses in the country.

Stanley Palmer grew up beside Chamberlain Park, memories of roaming the course with his siblings and childhood friends have created a life long affinity with the area. Stanley believes that parks are the invaluable lungs of a city and will become more important as the city grows and intensifies. This view is shared by the Save Chamberlain Park Inc, and it is believed, by many other Aucklanders.

Stanley's Tower is a depiction of the iconic Mt Eden Shot Tower built in 1914 by the Colonial Ammunition Company.
