Construction on the new Te Awamutu skatepark and parkour space at Centennial Park began in March 2022 and opened in September 2022. Two rounds of community consultations were held to ensure the skatepark designs were designed for all ability levels and was a space that the community would be proud of and use regularly.
To celebrate the new facilities an opening event was held on Saturday 24 September. The event was a massive success with over 400 people attending. We had a DJ, food trucks, prizes and professional demonstrations.
