We’re on a roll here at Hauraki Skate. Check out the Article from June! The Norwood Rd skatepark in Paeroa may not look like much at first glance, but it is far from forgotten. Every week, the energy at the park intensifies, with the site quickly becom- ing the centre of a local skateboarding revival. It’s thanks to Janik Levien and the crew behind Hauraki Skate, who want to grow the sport within the community - start- ing with free sessions and a mission to breathe life back into the slab they grew up skating on. “Me and my two brothers both grew up skating this park with many of my other mates that we still skate with today. It’s a special place for all of us,” Janik told The Profile. “We were all young rugby kids, but skateboarding was awesome in the way we could do it when the sun was shining, any day of the week.” One key upgrade for the park sits at the top of the priority list: a professional con- crete grind at a cost of $9000. The benefits of a concrete grind were “massive”, Janik said, from safety to us- ability, presentation and preservation. It was crucial to making the park a safe and inviting space for young skat- ers finding their feet. “Paeroa has two skateparks, the main one at Railway Reserve that was built late-2010 and the original one on Norwood Rd that was built about 25 years ago.” “Both are still usable, but are now weathered and the concrete is rough and usability is not ideal.” Janik said the Railway Skatepark was a lot bigger, had more obstacles, and was a more-advanced park to teach kids. However, throughout winter, it got “hammered” by the nearby oak trees which dropped leaves and debris that filled the park, creating hazards and an unpleasant environment for users. “Norwood Rd on the other hand - yes it’s the older park and smaller, but with- out the problem trees and the sunken-in design, it hasn’t been as hammered from debris and failed drainage,” he explained.
