Point Cook Skate Park Upgrade Complete

Wyndham City’s $400,000 Point Cook Skate Park expansion has been completed and is now open to the public – but residents have been reminded to observe social distancing when using the park.

The expansion, which has doubled the size of the existing skate park at Boardwalk Park, includes a mini-ramp, spine and kicker ramps, new seating, pathways and landscaping, which complements the existing skate bowl.

Wyndham City Sports Development portfolio holder, Cr Peter Maynard, said while the Point Cook Skate Park had previously been well-used by confident and experienced skaters and scooter riders, this expansion was specifically designed to appeal to all skill and experience levels.

“The new features are suitable for beginner and intermediate skaters, so they can build up their skills before tackling the concave dip,” Cr Maynard said.

“This expansion will give beginner and intermediate skaters and scooter riders the chance to hone their skills and take on more challenging courses as they improve.”

“The project was created hand-in-hand with the community, and I would particularly like to thank all of those people who provided input into consultation for the project.”

Cr Maynard reminded residents to observe State Government guidelines on the number of people allowed in outdoor areas, which is currently a maximum of 20.

“It’s great that restrictions have been lifted and the community can enjoy this amazing space, but please remember to maintain at least 1.5 metres between you and others, and if you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, stay at home,” Cr Maynard said.

The expansion was funded through Wyndham City’s capital works program.
