Port Melbourne Skatepark Redevelopment

We’re redeveloping the Port Melbourne Skatepark, also known as the Graham St Skatepark. The project is supported by the Victorian Government.

Location

Port Melbourne Skatepark, Corner Swallow and Station Streets Port Melbourne

Cost

Council has a budget of $900,000.00. The redevelopment is being developed by City of Port Phillip in partnership with the Victorian Government with funding contribution from the State Government Sport and Recreation Victoria (SRV) grant program.

Milestones

Why are we doing this?

The existing skatepark is approaching the end of its useful life and there is a lack of supporting infrastructure including seating and path connections.


The redevelopment seeks to support community participation in recreational pursuits through providing an improved skatepark facility and improved public space outcomes.

The development is anticipated to increase community participation, improve connections to the surrounding open space and reduce the incidence of antisocial behaviour through increased passive surveillance and community ownership.

The impact

For the safety of the community, there will be no public access to the skatepark and surrounding area for the duration of construction. 

The six unregulated carparks will also be removed as part of this project. We understand that this may cause some inconveniences.

We thank you in advance for your patience.

Objectives

The skatepark is a community facility for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy.

Skate facilities form part of the broader recreation and play provision across the municipality. Skateparks provide spaces for people to be active, develop skills and socialise in a safe and appropriately designed environment.

Community Consultation

Community consultation was undertaken on the draft design via Councils Have your Say page here: Skatepark, Port Melbourne | Have Your Say Port Phillip

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback.

St Kilda Skatepark, Marina Reserve, will be open whilst in construction.
