UPDATE: The Ringwood Skate Park was officially opened on the 2nd of September 2006

Andrew,
Thank you for your comments. The Ringwood Skatepark has increased the amount of activity and as well as the number of people within the centre of Ringwood and this has provided substantial benefits to the local area.
The skatepark has improved the general amenity of the local area and the police as well as nearby traders have commented that there has been a reduction of crime within this area.
Thanks,
Alex

Thank you for your comments in regard to the Ringwood Skatepark.
The skatepark is supposed to be a shared facility between skaters and bmxers. Please let me know if this isn’t working out so we can work on a way to help both skaters and bmxers.
Thanks,
Alex

Thanks,
Alex
heyy do u no were 5 mins away from the staition? because i live in belgrave and i get bored at upwey skate park
Hi Ryhs,
The skatepark is located along Seymour Street. The best way to get there (from Ringwood Station) is to cross Maroondah Highway.
Walk left to Ringwood Street and walk along Ringwood Street until you see Seymour Street (where the Westpac Bank is).
Cross the road and walk along Seymour Street and past the market you will see the skatepark.
It’s page 49 G8 in the Melway.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any troubles finding it.
Thanks,
Alex
How is the winter there?
Hello Kashirin,
The winter has been quite cold recently, although we’re still not receiving enough rain. Winter is almost over here so while warmer days are just around the corner there doesn’t appear to be much hope for the rain we need.
Thanks,
Alex
hey i am being told that ringwwod skatey is get knocked down or closed beacause eastland is getting built over it is this true
Hi Tony,
Thank you for your comments. Ringwood Skate Park is not going to be closed due to Eastland or the redevelopment of the Ringwood Market site. The plans for the Ringwood Market site include the car park, the former Market and some of the buildings on Ringwood Street and do not include Staley Gardens or the Ringwood Skate Park.
Please contact me on 0408 311 645 or email alex.makin@maroondah.vic.gov.au if you have any further questions about these plans.
Thanks,
Alex
