Maclean Park refresh
The first stage of consultation has closed. Consultation on the concept design will re-open in November.
Our vision for Maclean Park is a destination for all; a place to meet, play, relax and connect with Kāpiti Island, our heritage and environment.
We’re about to start delivering Stage 2 of the Maclean Park development plan [PDF 1.08 MB](External link).
This $2.34 million project includes upgrading our much-loved skatepark and we want to hear what's important to you in a new facility. Check out the skatepark user survey and ideas board to have your say on the upgrades.
The Stage 2 upgrade also includes building a new fully accessible amenity block with more toilets and new showers and preparing the ground for a future older persons’ recreation areas and water plaza.

We want to hear (and see) your ideas, inspirations, stories and visions for the Maclean Park skatepark!
Feel free to share text, photos, links and ask us questions, and comment on any other ideas.
Things to keep in mind:
- the upgraded skatepark will be close to the same size as it is now
- the skatepark needs to cater for a range of wheeled sports with different skill levels
- we'll be working with skatepark designers RICH Landscapes to complete the plans
- we'll listen to all of your feedback, however, it's unlikely that all ideas will make it through to the final design.

Old school stand alone miniramp
Classic feature, the miniramp not included in the bowl makes it easier to have a focused ramp session with a group, without having to be aware of people using the entire bowl. also it could attract the possibility of a miniramp contest

Get rid of the asphalt banks
The big asphalt banks around the edge of the park are quite a rough surface and are rarely used

The closest small miniramp is Waitarere, and they are helpful for establishing new tricks and gaining confidence before taking it higher

Distinct zones or lines
Distinct zones or lines rather than a big open free for all which the park kind of feels like now. Minimizes collisions between users. Makes the park easier to "read" and feel comfortable in for new users, which also benefits more experienced users!
