The new Koutu youth space is the place to be this weekend as families gather for the grand opening.
Food stalls, a three-on-three basketball competition, scooter contest, children's activities and giveaways are all part of the celebrations at the opening of the Koutu youth space at Karenga Park.
The grand opening is being held on Sunday from 11am to 2pm.
The new youth space features a skateboard and scooter facility, as well as a netball/basketball court.
Rotorua District Council youth projects officer Jill Campbell said the grand opening promised to be a fun and entertaining day to celebrate the hard work undertaken by the council, local youth and Koutu community, which had enabled the dream of having a skatepark in the area to become a reality.
