A new perimeter barrier has been put in place around the Te Kuiti Skate Park in an effort to secure the property and deter people from mounting the fence to get access to the railway corridor – which is the property of KiwiRail.

As large sections of the fence had been vandalised over a period of time, the decision was taken to replace the fence with a more robust barrier.

The specification of the fence is intended to act as a deterrent to stop people from crossing over on to KiwiRail property and crossing the railway tracks.

We encourage pedestrians to use the designated crossings and the pedestrian over bridge which is the safest way to travel from Carroll Street to Rora Street.
