Get ready to roll; construction of the highly anticipated Tunkuwallin Skatepark and Pump Track is set to begin in March.
Located at 130 Kanangra Dr, Gwandalan, the $530,521 project has been funded through Central Coast Council’s capital expenditure budget.
It will replace the ageing skatepark with a modern, dynamic recreation facility for the community.
Council’s Director Community and Recreation Services Melanie Smith said the new skatepark and pump track design reflected the extensive community consultation held in May and June 2024.
“We listened to residents and incorporated their ideas to create a skatepark that truly reflects their vision,” she said.
“The variety of obstacles and terrain, including street and transition areas, will cater to different ages and skill levels.
“We were particularly excited to expand the scope to include the pump track, responding directly to the community’s desire for a separate space for younger children.”
Central Coast Mayor Lawrie McKinna said the facility would be a fantastic addition to the local area, providing young people and families a safe and exciting place to connect and be active.
“This project shows how we’re investing in our community’s wellbeing and creating opportunities for healthy lifestyles across the Central Coast,” he said.
“The new skatepark and pump track will enhance Tunkuwallin Oval, offering a bigger and more versatile recreation space that benefits Gwandalan and the entire region.”
The new skatepark will be built on the current unofficial parking area located between the existing skatepark and Kanangra Dr.
Following the opening of the new skatepark, the existing skatepark site will be converted into a new carpark.
This project will commence as a separate project in line with the Tunkuwallin Oval Precinct Plan.
Construction of the new skatepark is anticipated to be completed by June this year, weather permitting.
Regular updates will be provided on Council’s website and social media channels throughout the construction process.
