Narrogin, a beautiful town nestled in the heart of Western Australia, is home to many families who cherish the outdoors. While we are fortunate to have Lions Park, a popular spot for toddlers and younger children, our town is missing something vital—a recreational park that caters to all age groups, including our energetic teenagers and adventurous adults.

The need for a modern, all-ages-friendly skatepark has become increasingly apparent. Currently, families looking to engage older children or parents seeking more diverse recreational activities find themselves lacking suitable options in Narrogin. Our community deserves the opportunity to enjoy a multipurpose outdoor space that brings together skaters, BMX riders, and families alike.

Communities in Collie and Bunbury have set remarkable examples with their state-of-the-art skateparks. These parks not only offer entertainment for all ages but also serve as community hubs where individuals can meet, exercise, and enjoy the benefits of outdoor activity. An upgraded skatepark in Narrogin could replicate this success, offering a safe and exciting environment for our younger generation while fostering a sense of community and well-being for all residents.

There is strong evidence supporting the benefits of outdoor activity on mental and physical health. According to a study by the Heart Foundation, access to suitable recreational facilities encourages physical activity and reduces the risk of obesity, heart diseases, and depression. A well-designed skatepark can serve as an inviting destination for those looking to improve their fitness and connect with others in the community.

We are calling on local government officials and relevant stakeholders to consider allocating funds and resources for the upgrade and expansion of our current skatepark facilities. By investing in this development, Narrogin can enhance the quality of life for its residents, attracting visitors and boosting local economy in turn.

Join us in advocating for a future where Narrogin hosts a skatepark that is not just a park but a community gathering space, promoting healthy, active lifestyles for all ages. Please sign this petition to show your support for an upgraded skatepark, ensuring Narrogin families have similar opportunities as those in Collie and Bunbury.
