Skateboarders and BMX riders are set to be in for a fun time with a new skatepark being built in Balmoral Park.
Brimbank council has released two draft plans, which are out for consultation, wanting the public’s feedback on the designs
Balmoral Park was selected as the site to incorporate a skate park because it is centrally located in Derrimut and is easily accessible by public transport.
The design of the new skate park will consider a range of skate styles, abilities, age and gender in helping to create a welcoming environment..
Option one is the ‘street and mini’ design. It includes a large flowy street area with a mix of low level transition and street features arranged in an outside loop and central linear layout.
There is also a low level standalone concrete mini ramp with both including unique obstacles such as skate rocks, whippy extensions and perforated metal wall rides.
Option two is the ‘bowl and street’ design.
It includes a bowl with a mix of transition features arranged in an open layout around a central mogul and a low level street strip with low level street features in a linear arrangement
Both include unique obstacles such as skate rocks, granite pool coping and ride on rails.
Consultation closes March 31.
