Skaters in Mandurah's south can now enjoy the upgraded Falcon Skate Park at Falcon Reserve.
The brand new facility was opened this week by Mayor Rhys Williams, Mandurah MLA David Templeman and Lotterywest.
Mayor Williams said the new skate park was designed with input from local skaters and design company Skate Sculpture.
"Our local skating enthusiasts were key to making this new park what it is, and we thank everyone who came on board to help with the designs,” he said.
“The Falcon Skate Park is suited to all skill levels, from experienced skaters to newcomers who are riding for their first times, and it’s also perfect for scooter riders. We can’t wait to hold skate clinics and workshops here really soon.
“We’re very thankful to the State Government through Lotterywest in its support for this significant community project, which is a fantastic addition to community facilities in the southern corridor.”
The skate park upgrades are part of the City’s overall $1.2 million dollar Falcon Reserve Activation Plan, which will transform Falcon Reserve into a recreation precinct for the whole family.
Other significant upgrades include renovations to the public toilets and change facilities at Falcon Pavilion, a new play space, and upgrades to the existing BMX track.
The City is also working to support the South Mandurah Football Club to construct a new unisex changeroom facility adjacent to their clubrooms.
