Paddington Skatepark Stage 1 is set for completion around the 25/26th January, 2016 (weather permitting). We are waiting on a press release from Brisbane City Council regarding an opening date as well as some other information for you which we should have next week but at this stage, it looks as though Stage 1 will be open to the public before construction starts on Stage 2. As soon as we have this information from Brisbane City Council we will post it up for you. Some good news for the park is that the conduit for lighting has been laid and at some point in the future, the park should see some form of lighting. This would consist of 4 x 12m floodlights in each corner of the park and approximately 9 x 4.5m pedestrian lights along the footpaths. In other park news, the Bracken Ridge Skatepark is set to be completed around the 25th January, 2016 as well. @brisbanecitycouncil @convicskateparks @enlocus #brisbaneskateboarding

Paddington Skate Park Stage 1 Upgrade is nearing completion and although the park may look like it is skateable we have been asked by Brisbane City Council to remind people that there are still other works in and around the park that are required before the park is open to the public to skate on. For those that aren't aware, the concrete must cure. Concrete attains the majority of its strength within seven days and a slow undisturbed cure process is critical to keep cracking to a minimum. So please be patient and stay off the park until it is open as it will pay off in the long run. The opening date is likely to be early February, 2016. In regards to Stage 2 of the upgrade, the Brisbane Skateboarding Association has been pushing for the entire upgrade to be done all at once but unfortunately that won't be the case. Brisbane City Council does have a draft funding agreement with the State Government and they're waiting for everything to be signed off on before Stage 2 can take place. @brisbanecitycouncil @enlocus @convicskateparks #brisbaneskateboarding

Check the snake run to bowl - one day we're hopeful that something like that will be built in Brisbane. It goes without saying that a professionally designed Skate Park has great Economic Benefits. Not only will it attract out-of-town visitors to spend money within the community, it also makes the community appear to be invested in the youth and active lifestyles. This will attract new residents to your community. @brisbanecitycouncil @teampainskateparks #brisbaneskateboarding
