The Mangakino skatepark, envisioned by local youth and supported by the Taupo District Council has been a great success story for this township. The facility has looked to connect with its location through use of timber textured walls, seating and feature rocks all part of the beautiful surrounding landscape. This skate facility integrates harmoniously with an existing public square and consists of a range of miniramps and innovative ramp features including the 'shark tooth'. This miniramp facility is part of a comprehensive environment to be developed further in the near future.
