The skatepark was damaged in the 2016 earthquake and repair work by Council included smoothing of cracks and bumps, and concrete work. Further maintenance work will be undertaken mid 2023.
There is also a small timber half pipe structure at Gooches Beach playground along Esplanade. It is maintained by a group of community skate enthusiasts - Kaikōura Skate Park Group.
