Scone Skatepark, located in New South Wales, is an accident waiting to happen. Over time, the park has shown signs of deterioration, rendering it less appealing for skaters. The skatepark primarily comprises pre-fabricated quarters and banks, characteristic of its older design. One notable concern is the transitions between the concrete slab and pre-fab features, posing potential hazards for skateboarders. However, individuals utilizing scooters with larger wheels might find it more manageable. Despite its shortcomings, the skatepark still serves as the only skatepark in town and a hub for enthusiasts, albeit in need of urgent maintenance. Its historical significance and role in fostering skate culture make it a valuable asset to the community, underscoring the importance of revitalization efforts to restore it to its former glory and ensure its continued use for generations to come.
It is time for Scone to build a new skatepark.
