The newly transformed St Leonards Skate Park is ready to take local youth recreation to a whole new level, thanks to support from the Allan Labor Government.
Member for Bellarine Alison Marchant on Friday joined City of Greater Geelong Mayor, Cr Trent Sullivan and local community members to officially open the new skate park, which received 213 million to deliver and improve community sports infrastructure and support initiatives that boost participation and inclusion in local sports clubs and organisations.
It's part of the more than 300,000 towards the St Leonards Skate Park and the local community for helping to advocate for the new facility.
