The Lismore Skatepark and Youth Precinct will provide vital community infrastructure to enhance community well-being and aid in revitalising our city |
Council has secured funding for the development of the Lismore Skatepark and Youth Precinct, also known as the Lismore Urban Sports Precinct. This initiative encompasses a significant skatepark and youth-centric area.
Spanning 2300 square meters, the park will be situated adjacent to Oakes Oval, between Dawson and Uralba Streets in the CBD, linking the CBD block to Lismore Shopping Square.
The precinct will include:
- A skatepark
- Recreational facilities for youth
- Sports climbing feature
- Seating
- Shade structures
- Sports lighting
- Capacity to host community events
Lismore City Council aims to ensure the precinct fosters a safe and inclusive environment for all users. It will be a new space in the Lismore CBD featuring a competition-grade skatepark, recreational areas, a social hub and event spaces. Advanced technologies and infrastructure to support youth will be integrated.
The Lismore Skatepark and Youth Precinct will serve as a catalyst for economic recovery, enhance event hosting capabilities and serve as a central meeting point to unite and uplift the community.
A community consultation survey received 48 submissions, supporting the application for additional funding to enhance lighting, safety and social spaces. The feedback will also inform future master planning efforts.
