The upgrades have been completed, the fences are down, and the weekend weather is ideal for people of all ages to use the refreshed Goonellabah Skatepark.

Lismore City Council finished the upgrade ahead of schedule, so the park is now open and ready to roll.

Designed by skatepark specialists Trinity Skateparks with input from local enthusiasts, the new features include:

• New ramps
• Manual pad
• Loading dock and hydrant
• Flat rail
• Slappy kerb

In addition to the new features, the upgrade includes drainage improvements, floor repairs and fresh paint to ensure a smoother ride and enhance the park's appeal.

An official opening will take place in the coming weeks, but for those eager to test out the new features, the park is now open and ready to go.

The upgrades were made possible thanks to funding from the NSW Government's Stronger Country Communities program.
