Umina❜s New Peninsula Recreation Precinct Includes a Mega Skate Park

It's safe to say that recreational areas don't come much bigger, better or more jam-packed than Umina's Peninsula Recreation Precinct. A whopping $8 million has been spent on the project, which is bursting with sparkling new facilities and amenities.

Completion of the new skate park and BMX track brings the project to a close and puts Umina on the map as a destination for experienced athletes and local families seeking things to do in their community.

The Facilities

The brand-new Umina Skate Park and BMX track puts the cherry on top of this incredibly successful multi-year redevelopment project, which was delivered in five stages, with stage one kicking off early in 2022 and the subsequent stages progressing through 2022 to 2024.
 

Here's what's new at the Peninsula Recreation Precinct

• Brand-new regional skate park, designed to cater to all skill levels, from beginners to advanced riders
• The new BMX track boasts a high-quality asphalt surface suitable for riders of all abilities
• Full-size basketball court, complete with floodlights for evening play

New Umina Skate Park

A centrepiece of the project was to bring a new skate park to Umina, and boy, have they delivered. The facility caters to every age and stage, from beginners to intermediate and advanced.

The skate park features roll-ins, flat banks, transitions, ledges, moguls and other features designed to allow younger riders to learn basic skate skills as well as a shallow bowl and a deep bowl, moguls, rails, hubbas, stairs, kickers, and many other features designed to allow the full spectrum of riders on many types of wheels (skateboard, scooter, BMX, inline and roller-skate) to challenge themselves and learn. 

Put simply, it's a one-stop shop for an action-packed weekend on the Coast! 

A Community Centred Project

The project was incredibly close to locals' hearts, evidenced by so many people getting involved in surveys and community engagement activities.

Bravo to a team effort from the Central Coast—for more information about the Peninsula Recreation Precinct, head to Central Coast Council.
