Party to celebrate Skate Park's reopening

The revamped Sunshine Beach Skate Park has reopened and Council is throwing local skaters a party to celebrate.

The fun will kick off from midday, September 30, with live music, learn-to-skate classes, best-trick contests and skating demos.

Project Officer Dallas Bickley said skaters of all ages – both experienced and beginner skaters – were welcome to attend the five-hour official opening celebrations.

The new-look park caters for skaters of all levels of experience, with the new design providing a range of new challenges.

Highlights include the Shire’s first enclosed – or in-ground – skate bowl.

Council redesigned the 13-year-old park in consultation with local skaters. The large existing steel half pipe remains.

Other key elements of the design include:

• A mini-half pipe.
• Rollover with A-frame hubba,
• Flat bank and jersey block.
• Love seat quarter pipe.
• A-frame and flat steel rails.
• The enclosed skate bowl will feature a taco-shaped corner.

The skate park reopened on September 16.
