The initial stage will be demolition of the existing skate park at McFaull Park, on the corner of Edwardes Street and Civic Place.
The master plan is set to revitalise the existing recreation space to provide the Deniliquin community with an area that supports the current landscape while offering a vibrant and enjoyable public space for the youth.
The skate park location is a key part of the lagoon trail green space that runs through the heart of Deniliquin.
The skate park precinct’s new design aims to reflect the natural landscape setting of the living lagoons ecosystems.
Following demolition, council will carry out civil works on the site, and then construction and landscaping of the new skate park will commence.
“Plans for the skate park have been developed incorporating feedback from the youth of our community, carried out by council in 2022,” Mayor Peta Betts said.
“It will include facilities suitable for all ages and skill levels, as well as areas for spectators and parents.
“It will be an inclusive space that our whole community will benefit from.”
The new skate park is being funded by the NSW Places to Play program, with a $500,000 grant secured in March last year.
The work will be completed by Independent Concrete Construction.
