The City expects to build the $700,000 skate park in 2019-20 and the State Government has provided $450,000 for the project.
“The concept design seeks to create an active youth recreation precinct that combines the natural features of the park and surrounds with the interests of young people,” a council report said.
“The concept plan includes a number of skate obstacles and features that are multi-functional.
“The facility also provides a mixture of transition-style obstacles; mini-ramp or mini bowl, smaller spines, box jumps and quarter pipes with some larger extension or obstacles for progression.
“There are a number of street-style obstacles including a mellow fun box with ledges and rails, a flat bar and stairs.”
Other features include seating, shade, bins and a drink fountain.
