Sharing Plans for the Katikati Skate Park Upgrades

Last week we (Katikati Community Led Development) hosted the Business After Five event organised by Katch Katikati.

John from our Steering Group, along with some youth/rangatahi, shared - to a packed out audience - our story of how we've talked (via interviews, workshops, chats etc ) with local youth to find out what they want and need in Katikati - and most importantly 'why' .

Their message was clear—they want a space of their own, a place to play, connect with friends, and feel safe.

This has ultimately led to a vision of upgrading the Katikati Skate Park to provide a safe space for young people to gather, as well as seating and cover for parents and caregivers, play equipment for younger siblings, and BBQ facilities for shared meals.

This is a community funded project and we'd love your input; every contribution, big or small, helps empower our youth and creates a space for youth to play, connect with friends, and feel safe.
