New skate park open for action

Staff ReporterWestern Suburbs Weekly

Mayor Heather Henderson will join western suburbs youth and the skateboarding community at the free event, which will feature a Skateboarding Australia streetwise skate clinic, barbecue, DJ and urban art workshops and skating competitions and demonstrations.

‘This upgrade has brought a whole new breath of fresh air to the park. A few days ago I came down and there were at least 50 people trying out the new facilities, it was fantastic to see,’ Mrs Henderson said.

The new skate park features a link between the two skating bowls, extension of the street run, new skating elements, a china bank and a refuge area.
