Skaters in Pirongia can now have their say on a concept design for the town’s future skatepark.
The community were invited to provide initial feedback, on what they wanted the future Pirongia skatepark to look like and the style of features to include in October last year.
Community services manager Brad Ward said there was a high level of engagement which gave a really good indication of what our community wanted out of a future skate facility.
“The majority of people wanted a skatepark that catered to beginner skaters and had features for scootering and biking. This was invaluable feedback that we have incorporated into the concept design.”
The community can check out the designs, talk with the experts and provide their feedback at Council’s drop-in session on Saturday, 27 July, 1pm – 3pm at Pirongia Rugby and Sports Club.
“Getting Pirongia’s input on the concept design will help us finalise a plan that can transform the space into a facility that skaters can be proud of and enjoy for many years to come,” Ward said.
This is a joint project with the Pirongia Skatepark Community Project team, who are fundraising to build the skatepark.
Feedback is open until 5pm, Thursday, August 1. To have your say visit waipadc.govt.nz/pirongiaskatepark.
