A permanent skate park is a step closer with a proposed design now open for community feedback.

The Christchurch City Council wants local views on the draft plan for the new skate park in Nayland Street that will cater to beginners and intermediate-level skaters and feature a “skateable art” quarter pipe in a wave design to reflect the beach environment.

Strong community support led to the decision on the skate park site in December 2018.

The Council also wants feedback on the design for the proposed village green, which includes picnic tables, seating and a double barbecue.

Waikura/Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board Chairperson Alexandra Davids believes the draft designs will “send a wave of inspiration” through the local community.

The proposed skate and scooter park design.

The design for the skate park includes a 1.9-metre-deep pool bowl with an upper 1.2m-deep mini bowl section; a 1m to 1.2m-deep flow bowl with a corner extension; a turnaround quarter pipe and an “across and down” ledge.

The draft also includes ramps into the pump bump area and the manual box, along with a high pump bump, a rail, a quarter pipe, a rollover finger and learner, bank and angled ledges.

Seating, pool-style fencing and landscaping will set the skate park scene.

Under the draft design, people will be able to wander along to the village green via a connected path.

However, at present, there is no funding allocated for the green.

People can learn more about the two-part project at sessions with Christchurch City Council staff on Thursday, 15 October at 6.30pm or Sunday, 18 October between 2pm and 4pm at the Sumner Centre.
