Get your skates on at the new and improved Sunbury skate park.
Hume mayor Carly Moore officially opened the skate park earlier this month.
The $500,000 upgrade began in May and was funded by Hume council.
“The original skate park was constructed in 2002 and proved to be a very popular recreational and competitive skate, scooter and BMX-riding facility,” Cr Moore said.
“The skate park has been expanded by approximately 390 square metres. This has created space for a range of new elements and obstacles to inspire and challenge skate, scooter and BMX enthusiasts across all levels.
“The new design of the park has focused on ensuring the park caters for beginner, intermediate and advanced users.
“Along with the new aspects of the park, popular original elements have also been repaired and will continue to service the Sunbury community well into the future.”
Skaters can look forward to riding on a new quarter pipe, mogul, new rails, banks and barriers, a wave block and a hubba.
“Community recreation facilities like this one are very important and help encourage an active lifestyle,” Cr Moore said.
