Help shape Crib Point’s new skate park and upgraded play space

Published on 09 November 2026

Crib Point, we want your ideas for a new skate park and upgraded play space at A.W. Peterson Reserve. The reserve is a place where locals can get active, hang out and connect.

We're planning a new skate park and playground upgrade, and we want to hear from the community about what would make these spaces fun, accessible and welcoming for everyone. 

The proposed improvements include:  

• a new skate area for skateboards, BMX bikes and scooters, designed mainly for beginner and intermediate riders. 
   
• a better play space for people of different ages and abilities. 
   
• easier access, better paths, lighting, shade, seats and drinking fountains. 

There is no design yet. In this first stage, tell us how you use the reserve, what you like about it and what could be better. Specialist designer Playce will use your feedback to create a Draft Concept Plan. 

Around March 2027, you will get to see the Draft Concept Plan and tell us what you think before it is finished. 

Mayor Stephen Batty said the community should help plan the space from the start. 

“This is your chance to help shape the future of A.W. Peterson Reserve before a design is drawn up,” Cr Batty said. 

“We want to hear from people of all ages, abilities and interests. Tell us what would make this a great place to skate, ride, play and spend time together.” 

Warringine Ward Councillor Michael Stephens said local people know the reserve best. 

“A.W. Peterson Reserve is an important local space. The people who use it know what works and what needs to be better,” Cr Stephens said.

“I encourage Crib Point residents, families and young people to fill out the survey and/or come to a community pop-up.”
