Sumner skate park design views - have your say
Christchurch City Council wants local views on the draft plan for the new Sumner skate park on Nayland St that will cater to beginners and intermediate-level skaters and feature a “skateable art” quarter pipe in a wave design to reflect the beach environment.
Strong community support led to the decision on the skate park site in December 2018.
Council also wants feedback on the design for the proposed village green, which includes picnic tables, seating and a double barbecue.
People can learn more about the two-part project at sessions with council staff on Thursday, October 15 at 6.30pm or Sunday, October 18 between 2pm-4pm at Matuku Takotako: Sumner Centre.
They can then provide feedback via the Have Your Say webpage on the council's website or complete and submit a feedback form by 5pm on Monday, November 9.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

-
40.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.6% No, I enjoy it
-
1.9% Other - I'll share below
