The exciting design for the long-awaited Riverstone skate and youth space is currently on public exhibition.
Blacktown City Mayor Stephen Bali MP said: “Young people in this rapidly growing community have been waiting eagerly to see what this skate and youth space will look like for some time now.
“This design is a big step forward in providing the facilities this growing community needs.”
The active recreation facility has an exciting range of features for skaters, scooter riders and BMX riders.
“Our teams have worked with design experts, run a community design workshop with young people and sought community feedback to come up with a design suitable for different users,” Mayor Bali said.
With the support of the Member for Greenway, Michelle Rowland, Council secured a $400,000 grant from the Australian Government to deliver a new skate park in Riverstone.
Ms Rowland says she is thrilled to see the design of the skate and youth space.
“It is encouraging to see the active recreation facility designed as a multi-use space for the community. I am sure the young people in Riverstone and surrounding areas will make good use of this space,” she said.
Initial public consultation included more than 150 online surveys being completed in November last year, and a drop-in design workshop was held in February this year.
Mayor Bali said: “This park is located in one of the fastest growing areas in our City, and we are proud to deliver a modern facility for young people and their families to enjoy.”
“The design for the skate and youth space is now on public exhibition and I encourage the community to take the opportunity to look at the design.”
