For 364 days of the year Anderson Park in Greenmeadows is a large green park.
Tomorrow however it will become a vibrant and colourful small town with an anticipated population of more than 20,000.
For David Trim, who steers the 200-strong volunteer team that effectively creates the temporary town and its remarkable festive atmosphere, the annual Cox Partners Christmas at the Park is a major exercise in planning and production - but also a major labour of love.
"It's just such a fantastic atmosphere and a really joyful occasion," he said as the staging and fencing was going up on Thursday afternoon.
"It is a massive task," said Mr Trim, who helps steer the Kaisen Charitable Trust.
