Parkes Shire Council is delivering exciting new infrastructure at the Parkes Skate Park area in Keast Park, including an extension to the existing skate park and a new pump track funded by the NSW Government. Further works to the site will continue with more funding provided by the Federal Government under the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.
The Skate Park Extension project saw the design of new elements, including:
The project was funded by the Stronger Country Communities Fund Round 3 for $150,000. The objective of this round of funding was to support youth-focused projects within the community.
The second part of this project is the new Pump Track which adds another dimension to the skate park and allows scooter and bike riders to engage with a challenging track. The pump track was fully funded under the Stronger Country Communities Fund Round 4 for $200,000.
Additional works to the area will include CCTV to ensure the safety of all park users and deter vandalism which has been a problem in the past.
