We are working to develop a new youth park at 1 Streamview Way in Long Bay. The park will be designed as a safe, inclusive and engaging space where rangatahi (youths) ages 12 to 18 can connect, explore and have fun. In November 2024, we asked you what you wanted in the park.

Your feedback showed support for:

  • adventure play, active play and sports facilities
  • a pump track for bikes, scooters and skateboards
  • toilets and drinking fountains
  • spaces to hang out and relax.

We have developed our concept design based on this feedback and are partnering with Ngāti Manuhiri and Te Kawarau ā Maki to deliver this project.

What we want your feedback on

We want to know:

  • what you think about the proposed concept design
  • which sports you would like in the multi-use games area
  • the kind of pump track you want
  • the play equipment or experiences you want in the adventure play area
  • your preferred colour scheme.

We encourage you to read the concept plan before sharing your feedback.

We will present your feedback to the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board for consideration.

We plan to start building the youth park in summer 2026/2027.

Māori name

Te Kawarau ā Maki, with support from Ngāti Manuhiri, have gifted a Māori name for the park. The project team will work with the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board to approve the name ‘Awaruaika’ which is the original name of Vaughan Stream in Long Bay.
