Great spaces and places | He tūhoropaki me ngā tūwāhi tino pai
All Aucklanders have the right to fit-for-purpose sport, play and active recreation environments. Our work with Active Citizens Worldwide proves that, globally, there is a clear correlation between spaces and places and physical activity levels.
We also know that good planning, good design and appropriate funding are key to easy-to-access, well utilised and future-proofed facilities.
Bringing these aspects together, Aktive works with our community delivery partners to make great spaces and places a priority in Tāmaki Makaurau. Through these partnerships, we are focused on maximising resources, boosting the use of spaces and places, and helping deliver projects.
