A major City of Moreton Bay Council-led upgrade is set to transform the much-loved skate park in Roderick A Cruice Park, Dayboro, with the new design to pay tribute to the area’s farming history.
Mayor, Peter Flannery said the skate park upgrade will meet the current and future needs of the Dayboro community.
“We’re rolling out our Skate Park Renewal Program across the City to ensure locals have high-quality spaces to test out their skills and connect with others,” Mayor Flannery said.
“We know residents enjoy getting out and about in Moreton Bay’s beautiful outdoors and having the right spaces for active recreation helps support healthy, active lifestyles.
“We’re excited to upgrade this skate park that caters to the needs of our local community.”
Division 9 Councillor, Cath Tonks said the project was a win for the local community.
“The upgraded skate park will offer something for all skill levels and be a great spot for families and friends to hang out, have fun, and create lasting memories,” she said.
“Through Council’s consultation, we heard the community wanted a design that reflects Dayboro’s pineapple and dairy heritage, and our expert team has brought that vision to life through clever design features including rails shaped to mimic milk churns and other thoughtful nods to the town’s history.”
Features of the skate park upgrade will include:
- A separate mini pool-style bowl;
- A flowing street style area;
- Mellow banks and small quarter pipes for beginners;
- Classic rails and ledges for more advanced riders.
Council recently awarded the tender for construction, with the project expected to be completed by late 2025, weather permitting.
