It took a couple of years but we got there in the end, still waiting on the lights, but the shade, new toilet and colour are a welcome addition.
Blenheim Skate Park has been given a splash of colour and some respite from the Marlborough sun with the addition of two shade umbrellas and a mural.
The vibrant upgrade comes following a successful submission by local group Skate Marlborough to Council’s Long Term Plan 2024-34.
Funding was granted from Council’s Land Subdivision Reserve, including $8000 for murals, and $24,000 for shade.
Parks and Open Spaces Officer Robert Hutchinson said the group wanted to make the space safer and more inviting for users, and had further plans to add further lighting to the space.
