The Te Mata Park Trust Board says its three new trustees are poised to "reinvigorate" the board and take the park forward.
In a statement released yesterday the board said it received a significant boost with the announcement of the volunteer trustees, which include solicitor Michael Bate, agricultural research specialist Ian Gold and business development specialist Mike Devonshire.
They will join the existing trustees to oversee improvements including new mountain bike tracks, public toilets, drinking water and improved signage.
"The park is a taonga for all people of Hawke's Bay and we are grateful to the Chambers family for this gift," Mr Bate said.
"I am looking forward to continuing the work of the trustees and helping address the many pressing needs the park faces - not only for improvement and development, but also its protection and day-to-day management."
