Victoria Park Lake Skate Park lighting – now active!

In Summary

New floodlighting is now operational at the Victoria Park Lake Skate Park, allowing for extended year-round use.
Lights are automatically set from sunset until 11pm during daylight savings and until 10pm during standard time, switching off promptly at the set time.
The lighting aims to support after-school and after-work use while remaining considerate of nearby residents.
This upgrade enhances safety, accessibility and enjoyment for skaters, BMX riders and visitors throughout the year.

The lights are automatically controlled and will be on from sunset until 11pm daily, during daylight savings (summer time), and until 10pm standard time (winter time). Lighting will switch of promptly at the cut off time.

This timing has been configured to support after-school and after-work activities, while being considerate to nearby residents.

Council’s Director Infrastructure Gary Randhawa said the lighting upgrade is an exciting improvement for the community.

“Council is pleased to see this project completed, with Skate Park users now able to enjoy the benefits of year-round use. The lighting will ensure the skate park remains a safe and welcoming space for local skaters, BMX riders, and visitors,” he said.

“By extending the hours of usability, particularly during the darker months, we hope to provide a better experience for everyone who enjoys this popular community facility.”
