Last Days of Lincoln

The issue

Lincoln Square is one of Australia's most iconic skate spots and we are currently at risk of losing the privilege of having such an incredible plaza in the heart of our city.

The City of Melbourne councilors voted on the 9th of December to redesign the park to make it unsuitable and unattractive to skateboarders, works costing up to $300,000 could start in April. (Money that could be spent on building new plazas, new parks etc). We want to educate the council on what skateboarding is really about and rid the perception that we are a rowdy unwanted bunch.

We believe we can come to an agreement with compromise from both ends to continue to keep Lincoln accessible and respected by all that use the space.
