What do people want for
our skate park?
Thirty-five members of the public were in attendance at the Carterton Skate
Park Consultation on Wednesday 25th May, which included a presentation of
various designs from a local skate park manufacturer.
We asked users of the skate park four questions on the evening and have
collated their answers in a series of pie charts.
