Skateparks have come a long way in terms of design and cosmetic appeal. Permacolour’s Colourmix has been extensively used in skatepark designs across New Zealand for new projects, extensions and revamps. Brilliant designs by local designers and architects has been instrumental in the creation of truly stunning skateparks where functionality meets design and aesthetics

Designer’s Mission Statement
Connection to Hastings:
The earthquake of 1931 that had a major impact on the region. Implemented irregular forms of terraces and obstacles.
Expression of Architectural Style that became prevalent in Hastings after the great earthquake namely Art Deco and Spanish Mission. Implemented expression in skatepark design through rail details, concrete patterns, and obstacle features.
Fruit Bowl of New Zealand. Implemented ‘Fruit Bowl’ obstacle that is accessible from the low and mid platform and can be incorporated into a number of lines through park layout. Also acts as a central point for park design. Using red concrete also pays homage to the red wine industry that has become of national significance in New Zealand.

It is envisioned that these temporary elements could be developed within the curriculum of the school providing another learning opportunity for students.
