Youth Council

The recent makeover of the Te Kuiti Skate Park was aimed at making the facility a safer place for our young people to enjoy. Shrubbery from the front of the park has since been removed to improve visibility and a new spring loaded basketball goal and a heavy duty drinking fountain will be installed over the coming month.Te Kuiti Skate Park

The project was the result of a submission made to Council by the Youth Council and a successful funding application made to the Ministry of Youth Development.
