skate parks

This is sad and disturbing to watch in the neighbourhood, in Fawkner Park … The extensive works and removal of greenspace and trees, dissects the park, construction there is a bad precedent and contrary to the beloved greenspace views and vistas characteristic of this (previously) grass-based parkland. the construction workers said they are going to concrete “the court and skate park” on Monday.      (B. McNicholas, Director, Walk in St Kilda Rd & Environs) Reference: The City of Melbourne’s Skate Melbourne Plan 2017-2027.  City of Melbourne marks that area in Fawkner Park on its map on page 35, without calling it Fawkner Park and without disclosing its higher status than open space i.e. the fact that it is a parkland on the Victorian Heritage list, including grass-based sports, our Council marking it as a “potential larger skate space”.
