Skateboarding and BMX riding are popular recreational sports for young people.  Providing these types of facilities for young people can minimise their boredom, increase their fitness and help reduce obesity. Providing Skate facilities also encourages skaters off roads, footpaths and pedestrian malls, where they present a danger to themselves and the general public.  With this in mind Pittwater Council have constructed two first class skating facilities for the enjoyment of all.

• Mona Vale - located at the southern end of Kitchener Park. Facilities include a bowl and half pipe
• Avalon - located on Avalon Beach Reserve north of the car parking area. Facilities include a skateboard bowl.

Booking an Event

Booking an event at a skating facility requires an Application Form to be completed and forwarded to Councils Reserves & Recreation Officer for approval.  Fees and charges apply to all bookings. For further information regarding bookings contact Council's Reserves & Recreation Officer on 9970 1355 or email nikki_griffith@pittwater.nsw.gov.au

Code of Conduct

Council aims to provide local facilities for skaters of beginner to intermediate skill levels.

Skate parks are specially designed to cater for skateboard riders and in-line skaters. Beginners as well as skilled riders, are equally entitled to use the ramps. Skate parks are not an appropriate place for toddlers using mini-bikes or toy riders. Users of the facilities do so at their own risk.

Skate facilities are self managed and Council encourages users to get together and look after the facilities.

So that the ramps are safe for all users, the following rules are in place:

• No glass or litter
• No bikes, scooters or toddler vehicles
• No vehicles on or near the skate park
• No graffiti
• No alcohol or illegal drugs
• No skating after dark
• No foul language
• Wear suitable safety equipment and protective clothing at all times.
• Share the facility and don't deliberately interfere with other users
• Users must respect the skate park and not damage or deface the facility
• Check the ramp for hazards before you skate

In an emergency, phone 000. Please report any misuse or vandalism to Council on 9970 1111.  For Bus Timetable and route numbers call 131 500
