Cannonvale's skateboarding scene just got a major boost with the completion of Stage 2 in the Skate Park upgrade project. The new addition, an exciting and challenging bowl, caters specifically to intermediate and advanced skaters, complementing the street style park introduced in Stage 1, which is perfect for beginners and those at the intermediate level.
Local skaters were overjoyed as the upgraded park officially opened its doors to the public last week. The addition of the new bowl transforms Cannonvale Skate Park into a competition-level facility, providing a space for skaters to hone their skills and showcase their talents.
To celebrate the completion of the project, Mackay’s Grind Shine Skateboard Shop, led by local pro skaters, hosted the inaugural Cannonvale Classic on Saturday. The event consisted of a day filled with skateboarding excitement, including lessons for newcomers, thrilling games, best trick competitions, fantastic prizes, a food truck to satisfy hunger, and live music that kept the energy high.
The support for the skate park upgrades came through the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Grant Program, emphasising the commitment to fostering community engagement and providing recreational spaces that cater to various skill levels.
Whether you're a seasoned skater or a beginner looking to learn, the Cannonvale Skate Park is now equipped to cater to skaters of all levels, fostering a sense of community and promoting an active lifestyle among the youth.
