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