The re-developed Devonport Skate Park will be officially opened tomorrow, on Saturday 4th April at the Mersey Bluff at 11am. Representatives of the City of Devonport Lions Club and the Skate Park re-development committee will be attending the launch. Devonport Mayor Lynn Laycock will be officially opening the facility.
Stage 1 of the redevelopment, the installation of the Skate Bowl itself, was completed in early February this year. Stage 2, the removal of the existing facility and installation of the new design, is now ready for tomorrow's launch.
Keen youths are warming up the new concrete already.
The Devonport City Council committed $187,000 of Federal Government funding to the project as well as allocating $75,000 from its Capital Works budget. Additional funding support was also received from the State Government ($59,903) and the City of Devonport Lions Club ($20,000).
