Parts for the park 's chairlift and much of the bike rental fleet were stuck in Wellington after the port was damaged in the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake , but this did not cause a delay to the planned opening . It cost NZ$ 20m to build the park , and the government made a NZ$ 2m grant available in May 2014 . This grant was given on the condition that the park was to be open by December 2016 , which forced the developer to proceed at a high speed after construction started . Christchurch City Council later also granted NZ$ 2m in support of the investment . Just over half of the park 's funding came from overseas sources
