New Western Heights Youth Space - Grand Opening

» 15/02/2012, Posted by Site Admin

Western Heights is next in line for a community celebration for the grand opening of the new Park Road Reserve youth space on Saturday 18 February, 11.00 am - 3.00 pm.

The new youth space has skateboarding facilities, including joined mini ramps, a spine feature, and large 6-stair drop with handrail, as well as two basketball half-courts, a netball court, and fields.

We are looking to repeat the success of last weekend's official opening of the Fordlandsâ?? youth space official opening where hundreds of locals joined in the celebrations.

The Western Heights grand opening promises to be as fun-filled and entertaining as last weekâ??s event to celebrate the hard work undertaken by the council, local youth and community, enabling the dream of having a modern skate park in the area to become a reality.

Thereâ??ll be all kinds of fun activities for families to enjoy including professional skateboarding demonstrations, free sausage sizzle, face painting, rippa rugby, volleyball, ki-o-rahi, basketball and mural painting.

See attached flyer, or for more information please contact Raki Wiringi on 07 348 5051.

Rotorua District Council's Youth Spaces project is a result of submissions made to the Council's last draft Ten Year Plan by young people from Fordlands, Koutu and Western Heights.
