read moreThe Northern Territory’s much-anticipated Regional Skate and Play Precinct at Newland Park has officially broken ground, marking a major milestone in a game-changing project for the Alice Springs community.
The finished precinct will include a regional level skate park that has been designed with thorough community consultation, as well playground equipment, green spaces and ample shading.
It will also include a pump track, 3×3 basketball court, dog park and expanded car parking to enhance opportunities for recreation and social connection.
Being buily by MPH Construction, the facility is a joint project between three levels of government, with a $4 million commitment from the Australian Government under its Priority Community Infrastructure Program, $1.8 million from the Northern Territory Government and $2.8 million from Alice Springs Town Council.
Alice Springs Mayor, Matt Paterson commented “this is such an important investment in our community’s future and we can’t wait to see this come to life. The Regional Skate and Play Precinct is something that will benefit young people for generations to come and it’s exciting to begin work so quickly to have this project completed in 2025.
“I’d like to thank the Australian Government and the Northern Territory Government for their significant contributions to this project. This shows how the community can benefi when all three levels of government work together.
“Our joint funding will see the existing parkland get a much-needed upgrade and a range of brand-new amenities, to provide a bigger community and play hub for residents, community groups and visitors to Alice Springs to enjoy.”
Northern Territory Government Minister for Logistics and Infrastructure, Bill Yan added “this plan is all about delivering better sporting facilities that support the well-being of our community, especially for our kids. We can’t wait to see the skate park finished and watch the Alice Springs community enjoy the benefits it’ll bring.”
