Council has agreed to examine the possibility of improving the lighting at the skate park at Gujaga Park, West Botany Street, Rockdale.

The skate park is a well-used and valued community asset that supports youth activity, physical health, and social connection.

Its use is restricted after sunset due to the lack of lighting, particularly during winter months when daylight hours are shorter.

A previous Council report highlighted the challenges of lighting at the skatepark due to its uneven and multi-angled surface, which requires specialised lighting to avoid shadows.

A report looking into the feasibility of improving the lighting to support extended, safe night-time use of the skate park, as well as grant funding opportunities, will be presented to a future Council Meeting for consideration.
