Matthews Park closed
Kia ora Kāpiti, a deeper look into the sinkhole discovered at Matthews Park last week has revealed more widespread damage. This means the impacted sports field will be closed for the foreseeable future while we plan and complete repairs.
The timing of any repair will depend on the option chosen and ground conditions – we’ll need it to dry out before starting work. As suspected the issue is caused by the collapse of a disused stormwater pipe. Our teams are still assessing the extent of the damage but so far there are several areas along its line showing signs of dropping.
Until we can get things fixed:
⚠️ please steer clear of the area, which we’ve taped off – sinkholes can be unpredictable and prone to further collapse
⚠️ if you’re visiting the park, please follow the direction of our signage
⚠️ no bookings for this field will be accepted while it's closed.
