Skate Park at Tuxford Park Shortland
The issue
Hi, My name is Jarred, and I live in Shortland, Newcastle, NSW. I would like to propose the idea of building a skatepark at Tuxford Park in Shortland. This is a rapidly growing suburb with a large number of children and teenagers, and I believe a skatepark would be a fantastic addition to the community.
Currently, Tuxford Park has two netball courts, a small outdated playground, and some soccer and football fields. There is a large open space within the park that would be perfect for a skatepark.
The nearest existing skateparks are in Mayfield and Wallsend, which are too far for many young kids in Shortland to travel to on their own. A local skatepark would provide a safe, accessible, and healthy outlet for kids of all ages to enjoy.
I'm more than happy to begin a petition to help bring this idea to life. I strongly believe it would be a valuable asset for the Shortland community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
