In the absence of a permanent skate
facility and the identification of a suitable location yet to be made, a
Temporary Skate and Court upgrade will be constructed in Ityamai-itpina (Park
15) off Wakefield Road. This facility will be constructed within the footprint
of the existing basketball courts, and the extent of works will include a skate
section, upgraded basketball facilities and community recreation facilities.
The project is currently open for tender and the successful tender submission
is scheduled to be confirmed in November 2015.
Council is continuing
discussions with the State Government regarding the funding and location of a
new permanent skate facility in the city. The development of this temporary
skate and court upgrade will provide a significant opportunity to engage with
the skate community on the design, implementation and management of a new
permanent solution specifically.

The City Skate Park will temporarily close from 11th of
August until 8th September 2014.The closure will enable site testing and survey to occur
ahead of building and construction works expected to commence in 2015. City Skate Park will reopen on completion of the site survey
and testing, and remain open until February 2015 when Adelaide City Council’s
lease expires.
Adelaide City Council continues to work closely with the
State Government to confirm a suitable location for the new skate park.
During this time, you can continue skating at one of the
nearby Skate Parks. See below for a list of Skate Parks within 10km of the

On 15 June 2013 the Australian and South Australian Government announced $100M in funding toward two new facilities that would form part of the City’s new health and biomedical precinct. One of the
facilities is planned to be constructed on the site of the existing City Skate Park.
Adelaide City Council leases the site of the City Skate Park from the State Government. On 18 June 2013, the State Government provided formal notice of termination of the lease, with the termination date being
officially 18 June 2014. Council has investigated costs in relocating the City Skate Park and estimates, based on best practice interstate and overseas, that a new skate facility will cost around $3 million.
From 7 January to 24 February 2014 Council consulted the community that was using, visiting and interacting with the City Skate Park for ideas that would inform its decision-making on a future skate facility for the City. Consultation included three (3) on-site visits:
- Wednesday 5 February - 6pm -9pm
- Thursday 13 February - 4pm - 7pm
- Saturday 22 February - 10am - 3pm.
