Christchurch Skatepark, located at the Two Riversmeet Leisure Complex in Christchurch, was officially reopened in 2019 after undergoing significant redevelopment. The skatepark was designed and constructed by Maverick Skateparks, a well-known company specializing in skatepark design and construction. The project was part of a broader initiative to enhance local recreational facilities, supported by the Christchurch Town Council, which played a central role in approving the funding for the renovation.
The original skatepark had been a well-used facility, but over time, it had become outdated and in need of an upgrade to meet the evolving demands of the local skating community. The redevelopment was aimed at creating a more modern, durable, and inclusive space for a variety of users, including skateboarders, BMX riders, and scooter enthusiasts. The final design features smooth transitions, bowls, rails, and ledges, accommodating both beginners and advanced skaters. This versatility has made the park a popular destination since its reopening.
The funding for the project came from local council budgets as part of a wider play refurbishment initiative. In addition, contributions from community groups and local fundraising efforts helped bring the project to life. Maverick Skateparks worked closely with the local community throughout the design process, hosting engagement sessions to gather feedback and ensure that the final design met the needs of its users. The project was completed on time and on budget, with a high level of attention to detail, ensuring a top-quality facility for years to come.
This redevelopment has transformed Christchurch Skatepark into a premier skate destination in the area, drawing positive feedback from both locals and visitors alike. The park now stands as a testament to the town's commitment to providing high-quality recreational spaces for its residents.

A big part of skateboarding is about finding Animal Chin - your spirit animal, or in other words: whatever gets you stoked. Could be the right people to roll with, or that special dream terrain. Trucks and Fins has all the best skate destinations in one place; a map of stoke in your hands.
