Umina could have regional skate park

The Umina skate park could be rebuilt as the Central Coast's second regional skate park, according to deputy mayor Cr Chris Holstein.

A regional skate park was built by the former Wyong Council at Bateau Bay, called Bato Yard.

It was opened while Central Coast Council was under administration.

Cr Holstein said he believed a second venue was called for.

"Having originally being involved in the bringing of skate parks to the Gosford Local Government area and seeing the success of those positive recreational activities, I would like to see a new facility on the Peninsula.

"Council achieved an outstanding development with Bato Yard and now it needs to be replicated more to the south.

"I have identified the right area as Umina at the existing skate park near the Umina Oval.

"I will be pushing to commence the process of investigation and community consultation for what I would see as a replica of Bato Yard.

"The existing skate park at Umina is antiquated and not meeting the needs of the community but it is well used and could be a benefit to the community.

"I think it should be a similar regional-style facility to Bato Yard that complements some of the smaller ones we have around," Cr Holstein said.
