Alfred Cox Skate Park was a community led project:
The design incorporated various existing features; the Main Slab, Double Spine Ramp Set Up, Timber Vert Ramp, timber Mini Ramp and the adjacent low retaining walls. The remainder of the park has been demolished and rebuilt with three distinct spaces:
1. Learner Wheeled Play Area
2. Main Slab with Terraces, Trick Orientated Elements and Jump Box features
3. Upper Platform with variety of Bowl Spaces that integrate with one another
Circulation has been taken into account with this renewal project including accessible pathways to all areas, as well as maintaining a steady level of progression for skatepark users to develop and grow creatively in their respective sports.
