My parents live in Forrest Hill (down the road from the nzg notorious forrest hill motors) and the local park was a lake - I remember being a kid when it was dug out and lowered for 100 year flood protection in the early 90s. (it also feeds into the Wairau valley stormwater system) Never once saw it flood, or even the drains get near the top, late evening yesterday it was literally boiling from water unable to flow through.
