Carterton's Skate Park was built in 1998. It is very well used but is now deteriorating and the wood and steel structure requires replacement with a new concrete structure.

The aim of the project is to demolish the existing wood and metal structure and replace it with with a concrete skate park structure to a design agreed and supported by the local community. Aims and objectives: To provide Carterton with a new Skate Park facility on the existing site constructed of concrete which will be easily maintained and cared for with a life expectancy of up to 30 years. To provide the young people of Carterton and the surrounding parishes with a state of the art facility which meet the user requirements. To provide a facility for young people in the community which offers a positive alternative to becoming involved in anti social behaviour by providing the opportunity to learn new skills whilst having fun. To provide an avenue for young people to develop their skateboarding and scooter skills to be able to take part in regional and national competitions.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The existing Skate Park is used a social focal point for young people in Carterton, and surrounding villages. It is used by people of all ages, from scooter users who are under ten years of age to ardent skate board users who are in their twenties and thirties. The park has open access and is unsupervised. Users with individual needs will require the aid of a carer to assess the risk in the individual using the apparatus which can be by nature difficult to use. The Council works closely with a local company which provides specialised activities for young people with individual issues and an offer of a closed session for those clients is being discussed. The Council has undertaken three consultation evenings with users (and parents). The users provided potential contractors with a clear direction as to how the park could be improved and developed in the future. This included the final design selection process. The facility is open air and free to access and use.
Steps to get it done:
To provide the young people of Carterton and the surrounding parishes with a state of the art facility which meets the user requirements. To provide a facility for young people in the community which offers a positive alternative to becoming involved in anti social behaviour by providing the opportunity to learn new skills whilst having fun. To provide an avenue for young people to develop their skateboarding and scooter skills to be able to take part in regional and national competitions.
