Have your say in the Te Mata Park 2024 Survey
The Te Mata Park 2024 Survey is out now, and we invite Park users to participate and have their say.

We undertake this survey every two years to learn more about how Te Mata Park is used, gauge how satisfied you are with your experiences in the Park and gather ideas for improvement.
Go directly to the survey now.
The survey will take about three to five minutes to complete. We welcome your thoughts and thank you in advance for taking the time to share them with us.
A big thank you to AskYourTeam for providing their survey platform and expertise.
If you have any questions about the survey, please get in touch with Eleanor Lonergan.
