Adventure awaits at the new Elliott Heads Recreation Plaza as the site, featuring ramps, rails and plenty of space, opens to the community.
The skate facility, located between the Elliott Heads Kiosk and community hall, has been under development since last year.
It features a range of structures for skate and bike enthusiasts to utilise as well as open spaces to allow for creative play.
Elliott Heads Recreation Plaza opens following calls from community
Divisional representative Cr Tanya McLoughlin said after extensive community consultation it was highlighted that an area for older youth was much needed.
“The Elliott Heads Recreation Plaza offers just that – a space to bring along skateboards, rollerblades, bikes, scooters and more with the opportunity to enjoy the rest of our beautiful beachside community,” she said.
“It is surrounded by existing facilities such as a toilet block, playground and basketball court.”
Specialist company Trinity Skate Park Pty Ltd was engaged to deliver the build after successfully completing the Central Park skate facility last year.
Unlike the Walla Street park, the Elliott Heads development follows a “street-style plaza” design with elements including ledges, rails, banks, hips, stairs, garden gaps and a featured loading dock.
As the Elliott Heads Recreation Plaza opens to the community, Sport and Recreation Portfolio Spokesperson Cr Vince Habermann said it was a fantastic addition to the region.
“Bundaberg Regional Council has a commitment to providing community recreational spaces while promoting health and fitness,” he said.
“This space can be used by all in the community, no matter your age, ability or skillset and offers even more opportunity for local youth, families and visitors alike to get outside and enjoy our great region.”
This project is a joint initiative of Bundaberg Regional Council and the Queensland Government.
