Project update

Contributions to the evaluation survey have now closed for evaluation and review. Thank you to everyone for their feedback.

We value your opinion and hope you're as excited as we are about the re-opening!

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the community's recreational spaces, we invite you to participate in this evaluation survey focused on the recent upgrades made to the Waurn Ponds Skate Park.

Your feedback is invaluable in helping us understand the impact of these improvements, and how they have influenced your experience at the skate park.

Whether you're an avid skateboarder, BMX enthusiast, scooter rider, inline skater or simply enjoy watching the vibrant energy of the skate park, we want to hear from you.

Once you've had a chance to try the new features out we'd appreciate if you could take a few minutes to share your thoughts below, so we can continue shaping our skate parks into a thrilling and safe environment for all to enjoy.

The Waurn Ponds Skate Park is getting set for an upgrade. The City is contributing $600,000 towards the project, adding to the $1.34m Victorian Government investment through its Sport and Recreation Victoria Community Sport Stimulus Infrastructure Program.

The popular skate park will be getting a re-design and a refresh. We are continuing to incorporate community feedback into the design.

As well as creating a truly relevant design, this review and community input will ensure the concept design reflects community needs, user requirements and the overall project vision.

The updated concept plan includes:

• a new street drain area;
• a new snake run bowl;
• improved street plaza;
• an area identified for a future advanced bowl;
• a youth active recreation area with various activity options;
• an additional shade structure and seating areas; and
• retaining the iconic steel ramps.
