Today’s blog post is a special one. If you are waiting to see the video and photos of the Salute The Masters skate comp, you will have to wait another day, I’ll post them up tommorrow.

Today I have a call to action.

Pittwater Council are proposing a major upgrade to Mona Vale Skatepark in 2009/2010. The local skateshops and skaters have been asking council for a new skatepark for years. The plans are in, the council just need a little bit of encouragement to get this one over the line. This park will benefit everyone. No matter where you are in Australia, you know you’ll travel to skate here, be part of a competition or travel to see some pros tearing it up on a demo. So time for everyone to show there support. Tell the council this park will be popular and get used.

The design sits between the existing Kitchener park sports fields and the boundary of the creek. The proposal is for a national level skateboarders, BMX, scooters, inline skate facility catering for all levels of experience (beginner to expert). Incorporating one of the largest bowls in Australia, plaza area and other passive and active spaces. The facility will also feature lighting for night time usage.
