The Lancefield/Romsey Lions Club wants your say on how to upgrade or totally replace the Romsey Skate Park.
On Sunday, May 15, the Lions Club is inviting locals to bring a donation to enjoy a sausage sizzle, get their number plates secured and learn more about the skate park upgrade from its prospective designer, Darren White.
Lions Club member Ged McLaughlin said the information day is aimed at gauging what locals need in the recreational space, which has been up for discussion for some time.
“We need to know what the kids want, more the point, than someone at my age telling them ‘This is what you’re going to get’,” Mr McLaughlin said.
“The other thing is that we’re working with the council about doing is a street art competition on the toilet block.”
Mr McLaughlin said Bendigo Bank had already given the project $32,000 to get the show on the road, but there’s a lot more funding yet to secure – to the tune of a few extra hundred thousand dollars.
“We’re going to approach everyone we can find to make up the difference of course,” he said.
The Lions Skate Park discussion will take place from 10am until noon on Sunday, May 15.
