Tom Price community members are advised that stage one of the $950,000 upgrade to Tom Price Skate Park will commence from Monday 31 May 2021 and continue for a number of weeks.
The Shire of Ashburton is mindful that this is a very popular facility in Tom Price and are working to ensure minimal disruptions so that the community can continue to access the park while the works are underway.
However, the skate park and surrounding footpath will be unavailable for public use from Monday 31 May – Friday 4 June.
Due to the nature of the works there may be times when the skate park is unavailable after this date, but interruptions to community use will be kept to a minimum.
Stage one of the upgrade includes shade, water fountains and soft fall area.
Stage two will get underway in the next financial year and will feature a flow bowl, an additional skatepark section with a stair set, A-frame and bank to extension.
The Shire of Ashburton have committed $250,000 to the project, with Rio Tinto also committing $400,000 to the upgrade and additional funding is currently being sought through Building Better Regions Funding.
