Napier's ongoing Marine Parade development is set to go south.
The Napier City Council has released plans of a proposed BMX "pump track" which councillor and chair of the former Marine Parade Development Group Keith Price said could be the "icing on the cake" for a seafront stretch which he said was fast becoming the city's jewel in the crown.
The track is the first active recreational facility to be planned for the southern end of the Marine Parade and would be sited opposite Ellison St, on the southern side of the parking area.
Mr Price said it would complement the planned skate park, the reef garden and amphitheatre and did not rule out it becoming the first and last public attraction on the open stretch between the National Aquarium of New Zealand and the Ellison St boundary.
"We are always looking at options," he said.
