The bowl is expected to be a main drawcard of the intergenerational plaza, known as the Skate Pit, named after its location at a former dance spot popular with rock ‘n’ roll dancers in the 1950s.

The Snake Pit comprises three areas for skateboarding, scooter and BMX riding, including a quarter pipe, ramps, rails, stairs and hipped flat banks, as well as a 4.4m-high climbing wall and basketball half-court.

The area is expected to open this month.
