OUR SHIRE GREENHILLS SKATE PARK Work Is Underway at Greenhills for the Eagerly Anticipated Regional Skate Park Newsletter of Sutherland Shire Council July/August 2015 OUR SHIRE www.sutherlandshire.nsw.gov.au GREENHILLS SKATE PARK Work is underway at Greenhills for the eagerly anticipated regional skate park. Located just off Captain Cook Drive, the facility is just one part of a 91 hectare sport and recreation precinct being developed by Australand and Breen under a voluntary planning agreement with Council that has allowed the companies to build nearby housing estates. Contractor Convic is carrying out the work which should see the skate park completed by Christmas. It will cater for all levels of skateboarding. The design was made in collaboration with skaters, Shire residents and industry experts, and continues beyond the skate park with complementary features including a platform and tiered seating surrounding a water tank to provide additional viewing areas.
