A $543,000 skate park planned on the lakefront at Swansea has attracted opposition from residents and a sporting club.



The skate park is part of a $3 million Lake Macquarie City Council plan to upgrade Chapman Oval and Burragallana Reserve at the corner of Forbes and Pelican streets.




The council is assessing a development application for the plan, which includes three full-sized soccer fields, a cricket pitch, an upgraded children's playground and picnic area.




The skate park would run 55 metres alongside a soccer field, rising to 1.5 metres at its highest point, the council said.




A council spokeswoman said the skate park, which had strong community support, would be the best in Lake Macquarie.




The skate park would be screened from the soccer field, but Swansea Football Club president Howard Sanders said in a letter to the council he was concerned it would lead to antisocial behaviour.




Mr Sanders was worried about the "risk of a soccer ball hitting someone using the skate park and causing injury".




Antisocial behaviour among Swansea youth has been a problem and some believe the skate park will help address it.




Mayor Greg Piper said there was a need for the skate park, but he would listen to community concerns.




"They're a mixed blessing, there's no doubt about that. We've had problems with skate parks in their early days, but they generally settle down," Cr Piper said.




Pelican Street resident Tullie Baxter said the skate park was too big and the site was a "prime piece of community land, overlooking the channel".




Mrs Baxter said the site should be "retained as foreshore reserve for general public use" and that skate parks were often associated with graffiti, litter, teenage loitering and underage drinking.

bitch sounds like she needs a snap kick to the teeth with a steel cap boot

screw that, just put it behind the netball courts in belmont instead, theres plenty of land and no dero tenants to cry about their spoilt views of low tide mud crabs

this lady i work with lives round the corner from proposed site
and she said she doesnt want it because it will atract more crime and hoodlums.

i am gangster.

so would she rather hoodlums smoking bongs near a skatepark she never attends ... or stealing handbags off old ladies at the mall. its black and white really

yeh, swansea already has a lot of crime, and she knows that. she just thinks it will atract more because of what skateboarders are like. and then i said now your stereo typing. because in the past we have talked bout stereo typing and skateboarders and she said she never thought like that. but now because of this park being built and what people have been saying, she thinks that skateboarders will be regularly be going to swansea to do drugs, start fights, vandalise and graphitti everything in sight. the general public and old people suck fukin dick. They have nothing better to with there lives except complain.
