Cannonvale Skate Park Upgrade Underway

The much-anticipated upgrade of the Cannonvale Skate Park will commence this month with stage one expected to be complete as early as mid-August.

During construction, the skate park will be closed but the basketball court adjacent to the site will remain operational.

Demolition of the old skate park commenced this week and will pave way for stage one of the upgrade project which will include a street style skating area designed to suit beginner and intermediate skaters.

A second stage will expand the skate park offering and will include an intermediate to advanced competition skate bowl which is expected to host events and attract more skaters to the park.

The tender for this section of the project has now closed and will be awarded in early July.

The two skate parks will offer greater choice to skaters who can enjoy the popular activity at their own skill level.
