Gembrook Leisure Park, GembrookCouncil is hosting another skate competition, run by the YMCA, from 2.30pm to 5pm on Friday 30 September as well. The Gembrook Community Group will be hosting a BBQ and Council’s Youth Services team will be onsite with a range of giant games and activities!
The playground and skatepark upgrade was completed and officially opened in December 2019. However, due to weather events and the COVID-19 pandemic, the community opening event had been rescheduled a few times.
