Who has done the design to date?

A project team including users of the existing skatepark and a specialist skatepark designer have worked on an initial concept for the skatepark upgrade. At the beginning of the project the project team agreed on a number of principles which the design has been based on. These will be translated into a new concept design for Kuirau Park

These are:

• The design should make use of the existing features and enhance the site;

• The park must cater for a variety of users and a range of abilities;

• Include skateable art features that reflect Rotorua’s uniqueness;

• Provide for national and local events;

• Landscape features such as shelter, seating, viewing, planting and car parking are important.
