Napier's redesign of Marine Parade has won the waterfront area a national accolade.

It won an Award of Excellence at the Resene New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architecture (NZILA), on November 8.

The award was presented to planning and design consultancy Boffa Miskell.

The judges said the design exemplifies excellence in integrated design, bringing together people and place.

The redesigned section of Marine Parade opened to the public in August 2017, launched with a family fun day.

"Designing the project with the wider team, including Paris Magdalinos Architects and Jacob Scott, has been a pleasure, sharing stories of place and delivering a new, yet familiar aesthetic for central Napier," Kneale said.

"On top of this, the community's enthusiastic adoption of the coastal park has been incredible. We're both proud and honoured."
