Construction of the refreshed skatepark and installation of the new amenity block at Maclean Park, Paraparaumu Beach, will begin next month, following 18 months of engagement, design, and planning
Kāpiti Coast District Council’s general manager of infrastructure Sean Mallon said the Paraparaumu-based park will be a busy site between March
and May, with several contractors working on the two parts of the project.
“First off the block is the demolition of the old skatepark. This is planned to begin during March and is expected to take several weeks. Construction of the new skatepark will take four months and is due to be open in time for next summer. In late March, two trees will be removed to make way for the new amenity block. The old toilets will be demolished and foundations for the new block will be built before the prefabricated block is delivered in late April. All going well, it’ll be open in late May.”
Temporary toilets will be installed nearby in the park during this time.
The new Exeloo amenity block includes 10 toilets (of which five are within accessible change rooms), and an outdoor shower.
