Indoor skate park opens

Umina Beach PCYC will celebrate the opening of its new $30,000 indoor skate park on Saturday, June 12.

The project was funded through a State Government Community Building Partnerships program grant, according to Umina PCYC club manager Ms Allison Carpenter.

"We are very excited about the new addition to our club especially since we are one of the first NSW PCYC's to add indoor skate ramps as one of its activities," Ms Carpenter said.

"The skate ramps are going to be a supervised, all weather activity suitable for all ages."

The grand opening will be held between 10am and 4pm with a variety of fun and entertaining activities for families to get involved in including a skate competition, market stalls, free fitness assessments from a personal trainer, indoor archery demonstrations and music.

"The indoor skate ramps will be named INSK8 and will be ideal for people of all ages.

"We expect the ramps to be open at the club after school, Friday evenings, weekends, school holidays and it will also be available for private parties at certain times including Sundays."

Ms Carpenter said people who are interested in taking part in the skate competition or any other PCYC activity needs to be a 2010 member of PCYC.

"If you are under 18 years of age, you need a parent or guardian to sign your membership form.

"Membership forms are available online, or from the club with under 18 years fees $6 and over 18 years fees $12."
