Brilliant idea – i have fond memories of bumper boats, paddling pools & kiwi house and am delighted to see the huge improvement along Marine Parade. A splash pad like the one at Cornwall Park would be a fantastic addition too.

What an awesome facility. This would be a huge draw card on the Marine Parade.

If the wave garden can be built in an economically and environmentally friendly manner it would be a world-class attraction for Napier. But pay attention to the ‘simplicity’ of the original – function over form I suppose but I have followed the development of the concept from the get-go and I know it would be just so much fun for young and old/er.

As an Auckland resident I’m pretty jealous that the Hawkes Bay is getting all this awesome family entertainment along Marine Parade. These are great initiatives.

Thankfully my wife’s family is from there so I can use that as an excuse to come check it all out. Really looking forward to getting my 4yr old onto the bike track.

As for the wavegarden concept, I’ve always thought it a shame that Napier has such a dangerous coast. Would be good to incorporate something that allows swimming too. Some form of artificial beach wouldn’t go amiss there. I’d view that as a huge draw card for families to come visit the region.

Hi guys,

What a great initiative. The Wave Garden looks amazing and we are sure that it would be a major attraction for Napier visitors (domestic and international).

140,000 surfers in New Zealand. We are sure a few of them would be keen to give the place a try too.
