<strong>Cessnock</strong> Skate and BMX Facilities Needs Assessment 2020<br />
Greta Skate Park<br />
Checklist Outcome<br />
Site constraints Existing sport fields and uses dictate to some extent where the<br />
skate park can be expanded and how large the expansion<br />
could be.<br />
Basic risk analysis:<br />
Surface conditions Poor surface conditions<br />
Dirt and rocks on the surface due to erosion<br />
Safety infrastructure Chain wire and rural fencing surrounding the border of the park<br />
Site specific risks There is a 1.5 metre drop on the side of the north west quarter<br />
pipe and a 1.2 metre drop on the side of the south east wedge<br />
bank which is unsafe.<br />
Users have created a makeshift dirt jump on the back of the<br />
southern quarter pipe.<br />
Preliminary opportunities for future development and broad site recommendations:<br />
� If possible, maintain Skate Park in its current location.<br />
� Expand Skate Park with larger contemporary active elements for BMX and scooter riders<br />
and skateboarders.<br />
� Expand quarter pipe and wedge bank platforms<br />
� Develop a concrete pathway from Nelson Street to the skate park with active<br />
skate/scoot/BMX elements.<br />
� Install seating, a water tap/bubbler, vandal-proof rubbish bin, and shade structure.<br />
� Install safety rails around the quarter pipe and wedge bank platforms.<br />
