<strong>Cessnock</strong> Skate and BMX Facilities Needs Assessment 2020 Basic risk analysis: Surface conditions Gap in join where the metal at the bottom of ramps meets the concrete floor. Holes in ramps. Rocks and dirt on the surface of the skate park. Safety infrastructure Coppers logs surrounding the border of the park Site specific risks Drop on the back of the quarter pipe/wedge banks. Preliminary opportunities for future development and broad site recommendations: � Repair gaps in joins and holes in active elements. � Expand quarter pipe and wedge bank concrete platforms to provide more area for active users to stand whilst waiting for their turn and to prevent erosion around the obstacles. � Expand the skate park linearly to the south east and widen either to north east or the south west with larger contemporary active elements for BMX, skateboard and scooter riders. � Install seating, water bubbler/tap and a vandal-proof rubbish bin in close proximity to the skate park. � Provide a concrete pathway from the existing pathway to the skate park. � Investigate how to redirect overland flow around the skate park to prevent debris from collecting on the concrete surface.
