Skate Park League competitions are grassroots events organised by the YMCA which focus on embracing the culture around the parks and bringing the surrounding communities together with positive use of the space.
The day will feature skateboard, scooter and BMX heats for competitors of all ages, with scores contributing to a state-based ladder for each discipline.
Scooters will take to the park from 11am on Saturday, March 2, with BMX to follow at 12.30pm and skateboarders to wrap the event up from 1.30pm. Registrations are now open.
