Fairfield Skate Park Renewal

We’re upgrading the skatepark in Fairfield Park and we asked for your thoughts and ideas on the design and what you want to change or update. 

We received a total of 144 responses. 70% of respondents reported they use Fairfield Park for skating or biking. 

The top three features respondents liked about the current skatepark were the: 

• Quarter pipes 
• Ramps
• Banks 

The least liked features of the current park are: 

• Stairs 
• Rail 
• Ledges

The feedback has informed our concept design. 

We’ll be keeping features you liked and replacing some features with more modern features to enhance the flow. 

We’ll grind and re-surface the existing skatepark, so it rides like new. We will also extend the skatepark to provide more opportunities for a range of new features and riders of all abilities to enjoy. 

We'll add more seating around the skatepark and community house so families and friends can enjoy watching as well. We will also be adding a new drinking fountain, rubbish bins and an improved footpath to and around the skate park. 

We’ll be shifting and building a new half-court basketball court and provide new lighting to improve safety and security to enable more use of the facility by the community.  

Construction is expected to take place in March 2024.
