Skate Park - Youth Precinct, Foreshore.

The skate park will be closed to the public from Monday, 29 January to Friday 2 February 2024 for maintenance. 

Staff have installed temporary security fencing around the skate park. However, the skate park will remain open for public use, and the entrance to the park unfenced, until 29 January.

This maintenance work is essential for the longevity of the skating surface, and the Shire thanks the public for respecting the site while the fence is in place and the works are being undertaken.
