Come on guys!! Let’s admit it. Forget about the road, the skate park is in the wrong place.
The town planners have got it completely wrong in placing the skate park where it is, without any foresight as to parking, accessibility or disruption to existing roads and services.
If there is to be almost $1m spent on the road, which will never work anyway, why not build a skate park in the middle of a paddock where there will be ample parking and no disruption to existing traffic. Surely there are plenty of open spaces around town.
Why not somewhere where facilities are already available, accommodation is close by and it is not too far from the city centre?

It is so disheartening and frustrating for locals to see Govt funds thrown at luxury items that Gisborne cannot afford when our roads are the worst in NZ.
At least the current Govt has put a stop to frivolous spending on these luxuries. Must be common sense.
