Wellington Street Beach

Alongside the picturesque banks of the Waikato River, Wellington Street Beach boasts a constant stream of swimmers and kayakers alike. A small park makes way to the sandy strip and jetty, the perfect place to take a dip.

Last year, this park was a muddy bank with a few benches to accommodate park goers. Today, this space is a sleek community asset with modern toilets, shade structures, a public barbeque, drinking fountain, seating and landscaping.

Undertaken by Schick construction for the Hamilton City Council, the first stage of the development opened in late December, ready for beach goers to make the most of the summer holidays. To make the space usable for everyone, Haptix stepped in to install accessibility solutions to keep everyone safe.

Our scope included:

  • Supply and installation of stainless steel tactile studs
  • Installation of aluminium stair nosings

The newly revamped space featured a number of stairs leading down to the barbeque and bathroom spaces. The installation of tactiles and stair nosings allows those with visual impairments to safely navigate down these hazards, giving them the same access to the park and beach as those with full sight.
