NOOSA skaters have been stopped in their tracks after sand was dumped on the Peregian Beach Skate Park as a way of deterring users.
Noosa Council's Communications Manager Ken Furdek advised Council had laid sand at five Skate Parks across t region to deter users from the area amid the COVID-19 restrictions.
"People are not adhering to the restrictions," he said.
"They are just ignoring the signage.
"This is a more effective way to compliance."
The five skate parks to be sanded include Peregian, Cooroy, Pomona, Cooran and Tewantin
The Kin Kin and Sunshine Beach parks have been fenced off.
