We’re moving into the next stage of the Kyneton Skatepark upgrade.

A concept design—shaped by what we’ve heard from the community so far and outlined in this consultation summary report—will be published on Wednesday 6 May 2026.

Whether you skate, ride, scoot, walk past the park, or simply want to see great youth spaces in Kyneton, your input on these designs matters.

Why are we upgrading the skatepark?

The current skate facilities are worn and outdated and no longer meet the needs of Kyneton’s young people or the broader community. The upgrade has been identified as a short‑term priority in the Macedon Ranges Shire Skate and BMX Strategy 2023, which aims to provide high‑quality facilities across the shire.

Funding from the Australian Government has been secured to support both the design and construction of the new facility, which will include a new skate park, a pump track, and additional youth-focused spaces.

Some elements are already confirmed and can’t be changed, including the site location, overall budget, safety requirements and project scope, which must align with the Skate and BMX Strategy.

Council has appointed Convic, specialist skate and youth space designers, to lead the design process.

How you can get involved

In May, we'll be seeking feedback on the concept designs to find out if we've got it right.

It's your chance to help shape how the new skate park and surrounding spaces will look and function — including the skate park layout, pump track features and basketball half court — before the design is finalised.

You can have your say in several ways:

  • Come along to the concept design workshop, and/or
  • Provide feedback via the interactive map and form that will be available on this page from Wednesday 6 May 2026.

About the workshop

  • Tuesday 5 May 2026, 5:30pm-6:30pm at Kyneton Mechanics Institute, 81 Mollison Street.

The workshop will provide:

  • a first look at the draft concept design
  • a short presentation from Council and the design team at Convic, covering the project background, what we heard during the previous round of consultation, and how that feedback has shaped the concept design.
  • opportunities for participants to share ideas, provide feedback, and collaborate in small working groups, using the design aids prepared by the team.
  • time for questions about the project and next steps.
