In North Lakes, Aurora Boulevard Skate Park is undergoing a major $900,000 upgrade. Construction is already underway to transform the park into a modern, inclusive facility designed to enhance everyone’s experience.

- An increased size to cater for local users.
- An open-flow layout providing riders with a variety of trick lines.
- Beginner-friendly elements alongside more challenging obstacles to accommodate skill progression.
- Specific skate elements such as: a lower curved spine, a flatbank hip, 3-5 foot (0.9-1.5 metre) quarter pipes, and a quarter-to-kerb feature for grinding and sliding.
This significant investment in community recreation is jointly funded by City of Moreton Bay and the Australian Government, through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.
