Based on consultation up to 20th December 2024

User group comments:

  • current design was a bit too pump track like and there wasn’t much to grind.

  • the flow of the park in busy periods could funnel users to the end quarter-pipe causing collisions. Especially from younger users.

  • would like to make it more skatepark like and have a few features that you could properly session as there wasn’t really anything like that other than the mini ramp.

  • don’t change the Mini-ramp.

  • would like to see an A-frame with a rail. We discussed straightening up the current one and swapping the rainbow rail for the A-frame rail.

  • liked the spine but understood we couldn’t fit it all in with a rail too.

  • make the drive way full width and remove the rollover blend bit.

  • asked if we could add a hubba to this driveway. Which we said we would look into as it is a bit tight.

  • We discussed moving the current flat bank hip into the middle and maybe putting a ledge on top

  • The new hip could be used as a bit of a jump box then, so this type of feature isn’t completely removed.

  • Widening the skatepark would mean the end quarter could be wider but we could also make it a bit more interesting with a flat bank and a vert wall if possible. maybe adding a sub box to it too.

Previous design iteration 01

based on consultation up to 10th December 2024

This image shows the previous design iteration. The central feature had a kerb that was requested to be omitted in favour of blended hips. A rainbow rail has been added and a 3-sided pyramid in place of the quarter-pipe.
