Devonport's newly opened skate park is the culmination of seven years community consultation.
Devonport acting mayor Maurice Hill said youth were prominent in the number of petitions. Also with correspondence asking the council to develop a skate park and place for BMX riders.
He said it was exciting to launch the new facility.
"It is aimed at encouraging physical activity and a healthy lifestyle for people of all ages".
"The skate park was developed using input from skaters, bladers, and freestyle BMX riders to cater for differing skill and ability levels.".....
....."The Mersey Bluff Skate Park is the start of major development for the bluff precinct and a destination point that families and our young people from across the region will enjoy for years to come".
"The Devonport City Council and residents thank the Federal and State Governments and the City of Devonport Lions Club for their generous support of this important community facility.", Ald. Hill said.
