Input wanted on skate park XDSA
SKATERS are being asked what they think of a draft skate park design for Jeff Pezzutti Park at Woree.
A Cairns Regional Council spokeswoman said the council had been working with the community to develop a new kids and youth activity space at the park.
“We are now ready to show the community a draft skate park design based on the previous public consultation and survey results,” she said.
“We want to hear from skaters about the design and look at opportunities to make any changes if needed”.

As an actual skater that rides every single day and not just some boomer who just learnt about skating on the Olympics, this design looks great. Lots of people asking for a half pipe even though Redlynch is about to get a half pipe extension upgrade and Esplanade has the iconic massive bowl. Half pipes kill flow and that can’t be afforded when there’s such a limited footprint to work in.

Love it, but please remember a lot of skaters are not kids. The oldest skateboard competitor at the Paris Olympics was 51. – Steve Schwartz
Do the survey people or you could end up with this average looking concept.

Yeah, not good. Too much space with not a lot of flow at all. Needs more box jumps, hips, spines, even an open end deep drop in bowl like Bondi.

Only thing, there is no separate area. Scooters will be going in every direction. Crash course.
