The redevelopment of this key waterfront site on Marine Parade in Napier has given new life to the area by connecting the city to its coastline and replacing a waterfront carpark with a significant public space that reflects the natural and cultural landscape of the bay.
Starting with lookout points aligned with Mahia and Cape Kidnappers, pathways lead you past the reflection pool, a series of bubble-up water features and between an interactive feature pool with LED-lit computerised water jets and the open public court space surrounded by timber whalebone structures that offer shelter and coastal outlooks.
This new coastal public space also includes and a mix of complimentary spaces, including; cravings sculpted garden edges and undulating lawn spaces engaging with the sea and city.
This project gave Russell Roads a unique opportunity to showcase our diversity and range of skills while providing the public with a fantastic addition to Marine Parade for all parts of the community and visitors alike.
