While the fences have been down for 6 weeks, Saturday 21st of March saw hundreds of kids and families gather to officially open the South Hedland Youth Space which is Australia’s largest skate park.

Along with the official ribbon cutting the day held competitions, demos, workshops and live music.

Mayor Kelly Howlett said it was a proud moment for the town.

“It truly is a place for all to enjoy and is a tribute to the extensive community consultation and engagement undertaken during its planning, development and construction.

“As part of the revitalisation of the South Hedland CBD, this facility will continue to provide a major benefit for youth, families and the broader community.”
