Active Park or Sportsground of the Year
Motutawa Skatepark
The annual Recreation Aotearoa – Te Whai Oranga Parks Awards celebrate the people, places, and spaces that make a real difference in our communities. Celebrating exceptional adventure parks and sports grounds that foster an active lifestyle.
It is a true honor for Motutawa Skatepark to be recognised and it reflects the passion, creativity, and dedication poured into this project by the entire team. It’s incredibly rewarding to see Motutawa celebrated not just as a skatepark, but as an inclusive, dynamic space that empowers youth, fosters community, and redefines active recreation.
A massive thank you to our collaborators, partners, and the local community whose vision and support helped bring this project to life, especially NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, Hutt City Council, Matt Richardson and Sam Guerin.
