Ramps Update - June 2025
The City is planning for the renewal of the vert ramp and spine ramp at Waurn Ponds Skatepark.
We are working with Baseplate to consider a range of potential design options, and we are seeking input from skaters and riders to ensure the renewed ramps will meet your needs.
We'd appreciate if you could take a few minutes to share your thoughts by taking our short survey.

The Waurn Ponds Skatepark re-opened in September 2023 following a major renewal thanks to $600,000 from the City and $1.34m from the Victorian Government investment through its Sport and Recreation Victoria Community Sport Stimulus Infrastructure Program.
The concept plan for the project was developed based on community input. It guided the upgrade works and identified an area for a future advanced bowl and stair set, which are not yet funded. Other future upgrades may include toilets and sports lighting, also subject to funding.
We have retained the iconic steel ramps however planning is underway for the maintenance and renewal works that are required due to their condition.
Planning is also underway for renewal of the dirt jumps within the precinct, for more information on that project please visit the Geelong Mountain Bike Facilities Renewals page.
