ACT Sport and Recreation have released their “2024 – 2028 Facilities Road Map” and we’re happy to see the inclusion of skatepark projects. Before the last ACT election, Canberra Skateboarding Association advocated and lobbied for new skateparks, skatepark upgrades and an ACT skate strategy.
The roadmap released by ACT Gov today includes:
- Construction of a new skatepark at Jacka
- Construction of a new skatepark at Kippax Shops
- Upgrade to Tuggeranong Skatepark
- Upgrade to Charnwood Bowl
- Development of an ACT Skate Strategy
We hope to see these promises kept by ACT Government and these plans progress input from the community ❤️🛹
