The new Romsey Skate Park is now complete, providing modern and inclusive facilities for skateboarders and more after a decade‑long, community-driven grind.
Council’s Mayor Kate Kendall joined State Member for Macedon Mary-Anne Thomas, Lancefield Romsey Lions Club representatives, councillors and the broader community yesterday for the official opening of the new facilities, which replaced the previous ageing, worn‑out facilities at the same location.
With on-site works having begun in late 2025, the new design at Lions Park Reserve features a bowl, quarter pipe, mini ramp, and a variety of hips and corners, as well as supporting infrastructure such as shade shelters, seating, lighting, landscaping, and pathways.
Mayor Kendall said: “The moment we’ve all been waiting for is now here. Council is proud to have supported the delivery of a space where users of all ages and backgrounds – but particularly young people – can enjoy.”
“This project is about much more than concrete. In our Community Vision, we speak about caring for our people. Projects like these are exactly what that vision looks like in action – not just for recreation, but for community connection, youth development and healthy outcomes. It’s also a testament to the power of community: that one or two people can drive significant change. Thank you to the Lancefield Romsey Lions Club for driving this change,” she said.
This $1.1 million upgrade was made possible through a Victorian Government grant of about $950,000 secured in 2023–24, along with additional support from the Lancefield Romsey Lions Club, which led early design and consultation and contributed further funds, including support from Community Bank Lancefield and Romsey, towards construction.
Council also wishes to acknowledge Baseplate design, Grind Projects and Creative Sparks Projects and everyone else involved in bringing the project to life.
