FAQs

A skate park is a purpose-built facility designed for skateboarding and other activities such and scooters. Skate parks typically include features such as ramps, bowls, banks, rails, ledges and other elements that allow riders to develop skills and enjoy different styles of riding.
 

A dirt jump is a series of purpose-built mounds or jumps made from compacted soil. Riders use the jumps to build momentum, get airborne and develop their riding skills. Dirt jump facilities can be designed for different ages and skill levels, from beginners through to more experienced riders.
 

A pump track is a continuous riding circuit with rollers, turns and other features that allow riders to build and maintain momentum without needing to pedal continuously. Pump tracks can be used by people of different ages and skill levels and are suitable for bikes and, depending on the design, scooters, skateboards and other equipment with wheels, such as roller blades or skates.
 

Planning for skate, dirt jump and pump track facilities as part of a broader network will help Kingston understand what facilities the community needs now and into the future. These facilities provide opportunities for people to be active, develop riding skills, enjoy outdoor recreation and spend time with others. Planning for them as a network will help Council consider where different types and levels of facilities are needed and how they can best serve the community, including young people.
