The skate park is way too small due to the amount of locals riding their bikes, scooters and skateboards and has become a major risk for injuries due to its size.

There would be significant benefits if the Whittlesea Skatepark was extended, as the children, adults and professional riders would have plenty of room to ride, preventing accidents and reducing the number of riders rushed to hospital. The children, adults and professional riders would love to see more ramps, a bowl and just to have it bigger so they all have room to ride and have fun without colliding due to the size it is now. More riders will get more use out of it and won’t be afraid to come back if they had the room to ride

This skatepark has been making a couple famous scooter riders and lots of skilled skateboarders and bmx riders over the years

it's a good idea to improve the skate park, make new design adjoining the existing skate, making it bigger because whittlesea town is getting bigger

there will be plenty more kids coming to the skate park.

A few more skating stars will come out of this skatepark

They will be saying oh i learnt at whittlesea skate park when I was a kid on tv or at some skating championships

Think about it 😉

Mansfield have done it very very well. Maybe have a look at their plans. Surely council to council could help each other out with plans to save on a few dollars. Obviously would need to be adapted to levels but a great area and mixed use of scooters , bikes and skate boards, beginner to advanced. Seating for parents and a clean water drinking tap where the excess run down to a pet bowl. Please take a look.

Would be great to see a bmx track and a community traffic school added as well.

Would be great to expand this to have some smaller ramps for younger kids. I currently have to drive out of Whittlesea to find one that is able to cater for my different kids different abilities.

Really good idea lots of kids ride there bikes and scooters, good way to keep them active. There's always kids at the skate park everyday but it's often over crowded.

Great idea! It would be great to see a park that also caters for more levels of skaters/riders.
