What we are doing

We are developing a regional skatepark strategy to guide how skateparks and skate spaces across Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland are:

• planned
• upgraded
• connected.

The strategy will also support a coordinated, long-term approach to providing skateparks across Tāmaki Makaurau.

Why we are doing this

We want to make sure these spaces work for the people who use them. This includes people using:

• skateboards
• scooters
• BMX bikes
• roller skates and inline skates
• wheelchairs or mobility devices.

As Tāmaki Makaurau grows, we need to make sure skateparks are:

• well located and connected across the region
• designed for a range of users and abilities
• safe, inclusive and fit for purpose
• able to meet current and future demand.

Scope of the project

This project focuses on skateparks and skate spaces in Auckland Council parks and community facilities.

This includes:

• the design
• the location
• supporting facilities
• smaller skate elements in parks, like ramps and rails.

This does not include skating or riding outside of council-managed park spaces.

What we want your feedback on

We want to know:

• how often you and your whānau (family) use skateparks in Tāmaki Makaurau
• what equipment you use at skateparks
• what activities you mainly do at skateparks
• what challenges you face at skateparks.

Your feedback will help us:

• identify priorities for investment
• understand how skateparks are used across Tāmaki Makaurau
• inform future planning, design and upgrades.

We will also work with community advocates and industry professionals to review feedback and provide design advice.
