Police were called to the Weston Creek Skate Park about 1:00am, after reports of a stabbing.
Paramedics treated the two young men — but an 18-year-old man died at the scene, and a 16-year-old was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The teen taken to hospital was undergoing surgery this morning.
A crime scene was established on Dillon Close, just off Namatjira Drive, where emergency services have remained all morning.
The investigation into how the stabbings occurred is continuing.

"It was a call to triple-0, requesting police and ambulance at the scene," he said.
"It's a secluded area down here at the Weston skate park … we're still investigating how many people were involved.
"There could be other people involved, and that's why we're appealing for any information."
