The wheels are in motion with improvements to Auckland’s skateparks on track.
Auckland Council is seeking feedback about skateparks across the city which will be used to develop a regional plan.
“Skateparks really are valued across Tāmaki Makaurau, especially by our tamariki and rangatahi,” Auckland’s Deputy Mayor Desley Simpson says. “To keep these spaces safe, well designed and future‑ready, we need to hear from the people who use them.
“Your feedback will directly shape how skateparks are planned for and improved across Auckland, so I encourage everyone to have their say.”
This project focuses on skateparks and skate spaces in Auckland Council parks and community facilities, including the design, location, supporting facilities, smaller skate elements in parks, such as ramps and rails.
Feedback from Aucklanders will help enhance the skatepark experience across the city, says Taryn Crewe, Auckland’s GM parks and community facilities.
“This will help the council to understand how skateparks are used across the region, identify priorities for investment and inform future planning, design and upgrades,” she adds.
“We will also work with community advocates and industry professionals on reviewing feedback and providing design advice.”
Open now, consultation closes June 1. See akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz for details.
