Skate Park Redevelopment

The project, which started as a priority project of the Northern Grampians Youth Strategy in 2014, followed by suitable site reviews in 2019, design in 2022 and construction in April 2023, has seen a major redevelopment to deliver a modern space at the Stawell skate park that will better serve the community for years to come.  

The new skate park caters for both new users with areas for them to learn new skills and experienced users with space for them to perform and refine their skate tricks. It’s a fantastic addition to Stawell’s North Park precinct.
