With roller sports and wheeled play on the rise, we’re responding to the community’s call for more inclusive, accessible and high-quality places to ride.
The new design will strike a balance between skateboarding, scootering and BMX—catering to a range of skill levels. Expect new ramps, rails, transitions and fun boxes.
The skatepark will be co-designed with the community, especially local rangatahi, who will help shape how the space looks, feels, and functions.
Construction is planned for 2026, but the design journey is already underway.
The first step is deciding where within Carlton Street Reserve the upgraded skatepark will be located. There are two proposed locations for the community to consider.
Join us for a site walk to learn more about the two proposed locations —why they’ve been considered, how each would work, and what it could mean for the wider park. Council staff will be on hand to answer questions and talk through the options.
When: Saturday 26 July, 10:00am–11:00am
Where: Carlton Street Reserve main carpark (near the toilets)
What: Site walk exploring the two proposed skatepark location
You’ll also be able to share your feedback before the project moves to the next stage. Whether you’re a park neighbour, a skatepark user, or simply interested in how the reserve is used, we encourage you to come along, check out the proposed locations, and be part of the conversation.
