Skate parks and BMX tracks

Information about skate parks and spots in the City of Whittlesea.

*Please note: From Monday 30 March 2020 all playgrounds, skateparks and outdoor gyms are CLOSED following an announcement from the Prime Minister to help stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

 

Local skaters, scooters and BMX riders can look forward to upgrades to Epping Skate Escape and Laurimar Skate Park in the next 1-3 years, as well as a new district skate park in Mernda in the next 4-6 years.

These projects have been proposed in our Cycle and Skate Sports Strategy 2015-2025, which was adopted by Council on 6 October 2015.
