Central Coast Council is inviting all local skaters and scooter riders to jump on board and help design the brand-new Frost Reserve Skate Park. This engagement process, featuring an online survey and interactive workshops, aims to gather community feedback to ensure the upgraded skate park meets the needs of varying ages and abilities.

Central Coast Council Director Community and Recreation Services, Melanie Smith said the project will deliver a bigger and better skate park, aligning with broader reserve upgrades.

“The current skate park at Frost Reserve is ageing and no longer adequately serves our community,” Ms Smith said.

“We are undertaking a major upgrade, expanding the skate park’s size from 200sqm to 750sqm, and incorporating diverse features to cater to a wide range of abilities.

“In addition to the skate park, we’re also planning essential infrastructure works, including a new amenities building, carpark upgrade, and sports field lighting upgrades.”

Council Mayor, Lawrie McKinna said this is the community’s opportunity to help shape the new skate park and surrounding area at Frost Reserve.

“This is a chance for the community to have a say in creating an awesome space for everyone to enjoy,” Mayor McKinna said.

“By sharing your ideas, you’re helping us design a skate park that reflects the community’s aspiration and needs. We want everyone to feel welcome and excited to use this space.”

Engagement activities include:

•    Online survey. Go to yourvoiceourcoast.com by 5pm on Tuesday 15 April. This survey seeks input on participant activities, skill levels, preferred features, surrounding amenities, obstacles, terrain preferences, park styles and design influences. Participants can also upload pictures, sketches or ideas for project consideration.

•    Draft design workshops. Sessions will be held from 3.30-5pm and 5.30-7pm on Tuesday 29 April 2025, at Kincumba Mountain Kiosk (Kincumba Mountain, Island View Drive, Kincumber). No bookings are required. These workshops aim to gather community feedback on the draft design, ensuring it accurately reflects the survey results and the introductory workshops held on 11 March.

The demolition of the existing skate park is scheduled for mid-2025, to make way for the new amenities building, with construction of the new skate park expected to commence in late 2025 or early 2026.
