Alex Heads Skate Park Community Consultation
Always good to see upgrades and don't want to sound like a dick, but it looks hecticly crowded in.
Kinda reminds me of places like Bondi or Newcastle Bar Beach, which I guess work a certain way, or are based around a big bowl and minimal street, but are hard to skate when there are more than a few people there, or just a million scooter kids all hanging around, like every other time I have been to Alex over the years.
I cringe every time someone has the bright idea to have a "combined youth space" with other things that make it completely useless as a skate park - see Capalaba as the best / worst example of this - as the skate park area is usually reduced and the "seating ledges" around the park are actually more of a pain than good - see Newcastle Empire park or Bar Beach or whatever it was called.
Do they still have lights as part of the new plan, as that was always a good thing going on there.
Anyway hope it works out - not really any kind of local to me, and I am sure with good people doing the planning, it should work out ok.
Sorry to sound like the grumpy old man I have become.
