Local Skate Park Design Revealed

Local skaters, scooters, BMX riders and rollerbladers can rejoice with the refurbishment of the Albany Skate Park now on the horizon with works set to commence in January 2024.

By mid-2024 the old skate park at Albany Creek’s Old Northern Road will be demolished and re-built with new designs that have been created with input from the community under Moreton Bay Council’s Skate Park Renewal Program. Mayor Peter Flannery said just like roads and pavements, it was important to ensure Moreton Bay’s active infrastructure keeps up with the times.

‘We know locals love the outdoors, and we want to encourage even more people in our region to get out and enjoy their skateboards, scooters, BMX and rollerblades,’ he said. ‘When complete, these parks will be a gold-medal standard for this growing sport and hopefully some future champions from the Moreton Bay region.

‘Which is important on the path to the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics, because these kinds of upgrades might just be what inspires the next generation of athletes in our region.’ Not only will the Albany Creek Skate Park receive a new look, but the Morayfield Skate Park will also have a face lift with works commencing in October. Construction in Sheep Station Creek Park, Morayfield is due to start in October.
