What's new this week – Everything Kāpiti

26 Aug 2025

26 August 2025 | How would you like your parks and reserves to be managed?

You really can’t beat Kāpiti on a good day – this week has been a stunner so far. With clear blue skies and the snowcapped Southern Alps and Marlborough Sounds visible from our beaches. It might be a little crisp, but spring is definitely on its way, and so is Sustainable Spring with plenty of events for you to get involved in..

More than 200 people joined us for an inspiring Open Mic Poetry Night at Paraparaumu Library – a beautiful evening of encouragement and celebration. And plenty of brave souls also turned up for Movies in the Pool, daring to watch giant sharks while floating in the dark – wholesome teenage fun at its best! 

This week we're asking what you love about our parks as we begin to draft an omnibus Reserve Management Plan.
