About the project

Project Name: Harrison Park Skatepark

Project Address: Harrison Park, Shellharbour City Centre

We're currently working on a final concept design for this space, and are planning on including:

🛹 Community co-designed skatepark

☀️ Better connections for Blackbutt Youth Centre and other park areas

🪑 Comfortable seating within skate-able elements

🌳 Tree planting and landscaping


Construction of the Harrison Park Skatepark is subject to securing funding.

The project is currently in the design stage after which Council will seek opportunities for funding to construct the selected design.

We'll keep you updated on how this work progresses.


This work is being commenced as part of our Harrison Park Master Plan take a look at the page to see the full plan.

Master Plans are high level documents that guide the future development of a community space over the next 10-20 years.

Design1 Design 2

Design 1

  • The larger bowl is more open and has a smoother flow compared to Design 2, but it still includes big transition bowl features.
  • There are level changes from a terrace seating area to a central hangout spot, which includes a skateable kerb edge and a pathway from the south side to the island.
  • The beginner area has a simple design with low-level bank and rail features, and the openness allows more people to use it at once.

Design 2

  • This design has more creative and sculptural features that encourage creativity, focusing on flow and pumping for beginner and intermediate skaters. It includes roll-in points to a partially open shallow bowl with humps for rolling in and out, various transition extensions, pockets, and a bank hip. Since it holds fewer users at a time, skaters will need to take turns.
  • A second fun area sits between the street section and a low, open bowl. It has low ledges and quarterpipe obstacles designed to minimise collisions.
  • The large intermediate-to-advanced bowl is more enclosed than Design 1, similar to a competition-style park, allowing skaters to develop advanced skills.
