Council knocks back skate park request

Gosford Council has decided against building a skate park in Woy Woy.

In response to a petition with 107 signatures asking for a skate park, either full size, half pipe or bowl with some ramps in the Woy Woy area, council officers advised that other skate park projects had been listed as greater priority.

It also stated that currently there was no allocation of funding for a skate park in the Peninsula area.

The report did state that, under the Gosford City Skate Park Strategy adopted in August 2001, council would continue to review this strategy to ensure the need for skate park facilties across the local area was met

The petition for a skate park in Woy Woy was received by council on June 28.
