Albury youngsters are flying high now that the highly anticipated skate park has opened but admit it took a “long time” to build.
The $3.6 milliondollar park was unveiled last week as kids flocked to sheltered area on the weekend.
As well as two covered bowls, it includes a state-of-the-art street skating section, a pump track, basketball court and a parkour area.
Daryl Davidson and Anthony Payne have been scooting for the past five years and say they have been waiting for a long while to make the most of the new park.
“It’s fun but it’s really slippery,” Daryl, 10, said.
Anthony, 13, said: “It’s actually good. It took a long time to build.”
The park has been in development since 2018 after hearing community feedback and has been guided by skate park users.
It was developed with a contribution of $636,511 from the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund.
The skate park will be formally opened in December.
