Our Plans

We’ve already completed the initial stages of the redevelopment of Marine Parade. The new playgrounds and kids bike park have been extremely popular. It’s now time to get on with the next stage.

• a fun and interactive water play area, known as the Reef Garden.  This will provide a great space for the young and young at heart to cool down on our hot summer days.
• a grassed amphitheatre area connecting the Sunken Gardens to the new Reef Garden. This will provide a perfect place for family picnics and small outdoor events.
• a recreation facility which incorporates the existing Marineland site – the perfect spot for scootering and skateboarding. The iconic grandstand, will remain as a feature of this area.

We are looking to invest up to $5.7 million in the 2014/15 and 2015/16 financial years.  This will be funded largely by Napier City Council however we will also be seeking other sources of external funding.
