🏆 We’re thrilled to share that Motutawa Skatepark has won the 2025 Parks Awards for Active Park – Sportsground, presented by Recreation Aotearoa | Te Whai Oranga!🛹🌿
This recognition is a true honor and 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.
To be acknowledged among such a talented field of peers in the parks and recreation industry is both humbling and inspiring. 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 Here’s to building spaces that move people – in every sense of the word. 💚
