Sydney Park will soon be home to one of the state’s biggest skate parks.
A proposal will go in front of the City of Sydney council later this month, and if the plans above (in the picture!) are anything like what comes to fruition, it’s gonna be damn impressive. Over to you, Clover Moore.
“This proposed skate space marks another major step in the transformation of Sydney Park from an industrial site some years ago, into a 44 hectare park land to be enjoyed by tens of thousands of residents,” the Lord Mayor said.
“We’ve listened to calls from the city’s skateboarding community who’ve been asking for more skate facilities for some time.
“Not only are we building a new skate space in Sydney Park, we’re including the flow bowl straightaway rather than building it in a few years as originally planned. This is a result of extensive feedback we received when consulting with our communities.
“With more than 2,000 skateboarders living in our area, and around 56,000 skateboarders living within 20 kilometres of Sydney Park – we know this skate park will be extremely popular from day one.
“The park will link with the new children’s bike track and gymkhana covered area, allowing children to progress into the skate space as they grow up.
“As part of the works, we’ve also proposed a new pathway system to provide the missing link to the southern area of the park.”
If approved, construction starts April 2018, and will be done in job over a year. Less if you volunteer to help. (That’s a joke, DON’T volunteer to help . You simply aren’t qualified.)
