As of this morning, the Cannonvale Skatepark is officially reopened to the public, and the timing is perfectly coordinated with the community gearing up for the inaugural Cannonvale Classic!
The skate park upgrades initially began with consultation with local skaters in 2021, as the previous skatepark was deemed unfit for more skilled skaters, too steep gradients on the quarter pipes and poor drainage throughout.
Stage 1 of the works created a street style park for beginners and intermediate skaters in August 2022.
The more recent Stage 2 of the project, saw the construction of a more complex bowl, creating a greater challenge for intermediate and advanced skaters.
The style of the new skate bowl means the park is now competition level, allowing the park to host a range of events and competitions.
The skatepark was officially opened at a ceremony this morning, much to joy of avid skaters, ready to perfect and practice their skills on the new facilities.
The first event to be held at the new park is the inaugural Cannonvale Classic, hosted by Mackay’s Grind Shine Skateboard Shop, beginning with a free learn to skateboard workshop, followed by a best tricks competition, bowl jam, and a team demo and free skate sessions.
The Classic will also host a range of prizes and giveaways, live music, and a food truck on site to take care of all attendees.
