Naracoorte Lucindale Council invites the community to the official opening of the Naracoorte Market Square Project on Monday 17th May.
The new skate bowl and pump track at the Naracoorte Market Square Recreation Area at 19 MacDonnell St will be officially opened at 3.45-5.30pm by the Federal Member for Barker Mr Tony Pasin MP and Naracoorte Lucindale Mayor Erika Vickery OAM.
The Naracoorte Market Square Project has been made possible by the Federal Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program and Naracoorte Lucindale Council.
Federal funding for the project was $215,000, with the total project cost coming in at just over $250,000.
The lead contractor for the new skate bowl and pump track was Grind Projects Pty Ltd from Kyneton, Victoria. Local businesses were also sub-contracted to complete some of the works.
Needs for the new skate bowl (Stage 2 of the Naracoorte Market Square Project) and pump track (Stage 3) were identified during community consultation on the design of the Stage 1 upgrade of the skate park carried out in 2016.
The latest works form part of the implementation of the Market Square Masterplan, which has included shade structures over the playground, an improved path network, the establishment of a carpark to include long-vehicle carparking, playground soft-flooring upgrades, additional shelters and picnic furniture, the installation of a dog park and landscaping.
The official opening of the Naracoorte Market Square Project will be held when schools close for the day on Monday 17th May to allow local families to take their children along.
Free snacks will be provided for children at the opening and they can also have lots fun trying out the new skate bowl and pump track on their skateboards, scooters and bikes!
