BMX bandits and skating sensations are being asked for their feedback on the design of Cockatoo’s Alma Treloar Reserve’s BMX pump track and skate upgrades.

The reserve is set to receive a $350,000 upgrade this year, which will include a new pump track and improvements to the existing skate park.

Cardinia Shire Council adopted the masterplan in 2018 which included extensive engagement with the local community. Many community members believed the installation was of high priority.

The upgrades are expected to commence in July with completion expected by the end of October.

Community consultation for the design of the pump track and skate park will be held at Allan Bailey Hall, Alma Treloar Reserve in Cockatoo on Wednesday 22 May, with a drop in session from 3.30pm to 5.30pm and a community meeting workshop from 6pm to 8pm.
