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.
