Skatepark expansion seeks community feedback

BALLARAT City Skatepark, located at Len T Frazer Reserve, is set to expand and the City of Ballarat is seeking community feedback.

Concept designs have been released for the site on Main Road, with the upgrades to include repairs to the current skatepark and new elements.

Engagement has been conducted with the skating community and a key priority to come from this is more elements that are suitable for younger users and beginners.

Two in-person drop-in sessions that were open to the community, have already been held.

“We know how important this skatepark is to many people in Ballarat, especially our younger community members,” mayor Cr Tracey Hargreaves said.

“I encourage people to provide feedback to help us ensure the expansion and upgrade of the skate park is the best it can be.”

Feedback is particularly being sought from women, girls and gender diverse people.

Feedback is open until Tuesday 23 December on the City of Ballarat MySay page.
