Umina Skate Park, NSW

Project Overview

Central Coast Council’s redevelopment of Umina Skate Park at the Peninsula Recreation Precinct is a transformative initiative supported by an $8.25 million grant from the Australian Government. This project is designed to modernise the skate park and its surrounding areas, including the BMX track and half basketball court, enhancing the overall recreational experience for the community.

GX Outdoors' Contribution: Akora Cantilever Shelters

A key feature of the redevelopment is the installation of Akora Cantilever Shelters supplied by GX Outdoors. These shelters are integral to the park's upgraded infrastructure, and their impact on the facility is significant.

Features:

1. Enhanced Comfort and Usability: The Akora Cantilever Shelters provide essential shaded areas, offering protection from the sun and rain. This improves user comfort, allowing skaters, BMX riders, and spectators to enjoy the park regardless of weather conditions.

2. Modern Aesthetic: The shelters come in a striking Blaze Blue color, which not only adds a vibrant touch to the park but also helps integrate the new infrastructure with the overall modern design of the redevelopment. The bright color enhances visibility and adds to the park's visual appeal.

3. Durability and Functionality: Designed to withstand various weather conditions, the Akora Cantilever Shelters are built from high-quality materials that ensure long-term durability and low maintenance. This contributes to the park's sustainability and long-term usability.

4. Social Space Creation: The shelters offer shaded seating areas where families and friends can gather and relax, fostering community interaction. This is particularly important in a space designed to attract diverse groups and encourage social engagement.

5. Increased Accessibility: By providing shaded areas close to key recreational facilities, the shelters make the park more accessible to users of all ages and abilities, including those who may need a break from physical activity.
