An update on McLean Park

Our plans for McLean Park will mean it can be a multi-use facility and also a traditional stadium when needed. This flexibility will allow more use of the park and its facilities by a broader range of groups, and it will be a better experience for users. These plans will be more affordable for Napier’s ratepayers. Funding over the next ten years is the same as previously planned.
The long-term programme of work includes:

1-10 years’ time:

  • An asphalted area on the Latham Street frontage for multi-purpose use.
  • New unisex amenities.
  • New layout of Latham Street carpark.

11-15 years’ time:

  • Installing a new stage performance area on the park’s embankment to enable more concerts.
  • New walking track around the park perimeter.
  • Open to the public 24/7 but easily closed off for events.
  • Minimal investment in Graeme Lowe stand and then undertake an assessment of it in the mid-2030s. The potential outcome could be the demolition of the stand.
  • Introduce portable modular seating on the side where the Graeme Lowe stand used to be (if this is demolished).
