Community Features at Dudley Park
Consultation has concluded
This consultation is now closed. The Waimakariri Youth Council want to thank you for your feedback and they will be back in touch with you soon about the next steps.
The Waimakariri Youth Council have been given some funding by the Council to look at developing the space around Dudley Skate Park. The aim is to brighten up the space and encourage people to use it more to hang out, put on entertainment and generally have a more community friendly feel about it.
The Youth Council do have some ideas of their own like:
- An entertainment space
- Seating
- Charging bench

A playground not just for little ones but all ages and is accessible to those with disabilities too
Maybe a 'wheels' theme to tie it into the skate park. Consider what girls might like to do too as the skate park appears to be predominantly used by boys/ guys. Can the walls of Dudley pool/ the squash club be utilised for a mini basketball court or maybe a climbing wall? or as part of a playground. Perhaps inground trampolines like Margaret Mahy Playground in ChCh. Cheers!

To the Waimakariri District Council. I believe that Dudley skate park is in need of some Modifications.
To the Waimakariri District Council. I believe that Dudley skate park is in need of some Modifications and I would really like to give my suggestions. First The seating situation is in dire need of an overhaul and here are some reasons why. There is only one place in the entire park where you can eat food and more tables would really increase the number of visitors to the park. Also, arguments can occur over who gets the seating and can turn violent making the park an unfriendly place for younger children. For younger children, the park is a little bland and I understand that you are trying to make the money go as far as possible so a playground is a very appealing option. Another point to consider is that younger children can get in the way of more experienced skaters and accidents occur daily. Lastly, lots of kids do swimming lessons and while they swim younger siblings have nothing to do this is a clear problem that a playground would solve. In conclusion, I believe that the Dudley skate could be an amazing place for children of all ages and provide a great place for kids to get outside. This means that kids in the community would be spending less time on electronics and what parent doesn’t want that.
