In just a few months, Oran Park Town will be opening the latest and greatest skate park in South Western Sydney.

With skate bowls catering from beginners to highly advanced skaters, the area has been crying out for this facility.

“I honestly can’t wait! Convic have built some of the best skate parks around Australia and I’m stoked that I’ll have an amazing new facility to use that’s so close to home. It is going to be extremely beneficial for so many local youths, and potentially open the door for more careers like mine” said Warick Beynon, professional scooter rider.

Julia Reserve will also include a parkour facility, multi-use courts, kick-about areas, ping-pong tables and recreational facilities such as shelters, shared-use pathways, seating and multiple bio-retention basins.

Along with the Skate Park is the Youth and Recreation Centre, getting built by Hutchison Builders. The expected practical completion is December 2019, and the handover to Council is expected to be in March 2020. The Centre will include offices, break out rooms, cultural activity spaces, meeting rooms, kitchen facilities and a performance space.

“We’re thrilled to be delivering a world class facility like this. Oran Park Town residents, in particular our younger community, have been wanting a skate park in Oran Park, so it’s brilliant to know we will be opening the skate park before Christmas” said Mick Owens, GM Greenfields Development Company.

Both the Skate Park and Youth and Recreation Centre are situated in the beautifully landscaped Julia Creek Reserve and in walking distance to the town centre.
