Cessnock Skate and BMX Facilities Needs Assessment 2020 � Heddon Greta; � Millfield-Paxton; � Kitchener. In addition to the current quantitative deficit, all three existing concrete skate and BMX facilities have reached their carrying capacity at peak periods, are deficient in basic amenities and support facilities, are outdated in design, do not cater for advanced users, and lack variety of active elements. Consequently, the projected growth in areas with existing skate and BMX facilities will place further pressure on their carrying capacity. Therefore, the existing skate and BMX facilities will need to be upgraded and expanded to counteract this shortcoming. Recommendations on how best to address these deficiencies are provided in Section 6.0. Page 24
