New Skatepark for Avalon Park

We've built a new, state-of-the-art skatepark at Avalon Park.

The new space is brimming with features requested by the community, including a mini bowl, five quarter pipes, mixed rails, curbs and pole jams, and a five-sided funbox with a ledge. There are also weather shelters and park furniture, a water fountain and designs by mana whenua. Security cameras are also in place for everyone's safety.

The new skatepark replaces the old one at Melling, which we need to demolish to make way for the new Melling interchange. It was designed with our Skatepark Advisory Group made up of experts from the local skate industry and hobbyists, as well as the internationally renowned skatepark designers Convic.

The skatepark was funded by NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi as part of the SH2 Melling Transport Improvements project.
