Despite new ramps still being built, charges and a name still being decided by Napier City Council, an open day is planned for December 17. The new skate park was developed to suit all wheel sports, including skateboarding, scootering, in-line skating and creative skating. It will also be able to be used for events, with the old Marineland grandstand revamped for spectator seating.
The park will be managed by the council, rather than Napier Skating Club, however this will be reviewed in a year.
Stage two of the Marine Parade redevelopment project should be finished by 2017. It runs from the Sunken Gardens to the old Marineland site and includes water features, sculptures, furniture and landscaped areas inspired by Maori mythology and the environment.

For some older people Halloween can be a frightening and scary time so here are some helpful tips so everyone can enjoy themselves and come away with fond memories:
- Make it a family affair and go trick or treating with your kids or a group from your neighbourhood.
- Call your neighbours in advance to make sure it’s okay to call in to trick-or-treat
- If you don’t want trick-or-treaters calling print or make a sign for your letterbox or window saying no thanks. (New Zealand Police have had downloadable signs)
- If you are a trick-or-treater, respect the people who have a sign asking for you to stay away
- Keep your lights on and guests outside
- Keep your eye out for your older family members, friends and neighbours this Halloween and make sure we all get to enjoy the celebration.
Remember you can help make this a great celebration for your family and community and a great opportunity to connect with your older neighbours.
If you want to go one step further Age Concern New Zealand would like to encourage all Kiwis to sign up to their Dignity Champion Campaign to show a commitment to breaking down ageism and stereotypes and encouraging dignity and respect for older people.
Become an Age Concern Dignity Champion www.ageconcern.org.nz... this Halloween and involve and celebrate the older people in your lives.
