Linking Central Richmond with Jubilee Park and Beyond.

We’re planning some safety improvements for pedestrians and cyclists who travel between Central Richmond, the Jubilee Park recreational facilities and the Richmond West development of Berryfields and The Meadows.

A critical part of this work – the Jubilee Park Connection – will be improving the pedestrian crossing on State Highway 6 / Gladstone Road where we will be working with Waka Kotahi on the upgrade.

The work will include enhanced plantings, raised speed humps to slow traffic through the sports club area and upgraded lighting.

As well as this work to create a better link between residential, recreation and road zones, we’re also making some illuminating upgrades to the skatepark at Richmond’s Jubilee Park.

The new installation will be LED lights on poles at the northern and southern ends of the skatepark area.

We hope the upgrade will make the area more visible at night as well as safer for those using it.

However, we want to give nearby residents a break when it comes to bright lights during the evening. Therefore, the new lighting system will be on a push button system that requires a restart every half hour until they switch off automatically after 9.00 pm.
