Construction is set to begin this week on the new Cochrane Park Skate Park in Kooweerup.
A final design has been prepared by Cardinia Shire Council based on feedback received during a number of rounds of community consultation.
The skate park will be constructed by premier skate park builders Grind Projects, in partnership with Baseplate, the designer for the popular Gembrook skate park in 2018.
The new skate park will offer a ‘combination’ style facility to cater for all user types and skill levels.
To ensure further diversity, the skate park includes a long street run that features various elements like bank ramps, rails, ledges, split level, manual pad, differing complexity of elements to encourage use by beginners, ample open space where users can practice their basic skills and elevated areas that can accommodate future seating and shared zones between the adjoining facilities.
The skate park retains connections to existing infrastructure including paths, and the basketball court to further encourage both active and passive use.
No existing vegetation will be removed during construction.
The project is anticipated to be completed towards the end of June, 2022.
