Shelter
Lights (2)
Safe
Safe and fun
Safety for kids is extremely important.
Lighting, clean and well maintained surfaces with a range of obstacles for beginners and advanced users to allow for progression and creativity.
Keeping the skatepark clean and up to date
Dogs to be on leash
Clean toilets
Free car parking
A supportive and respectful space - very important
Sometimes when there are facilities for kids to hang out, less desirable kids tend to hang around.
A facility build designed by reputable skatepark designers
Be more visually appealing - local artists to make it theirs
Skate parks need to be accessible to the public eg close to transport , toilets , shade, water taps
Continuing to further the engagement with the community
Youth space
More Programs to engage and assist youth who are high risk
Complementary amenities, variety in what's offered, opportunities for all ages and experiences, rules of play (to avoid parents with babies and toddlers from walking and playing in areas where older more experienced skaters etc are)

A shelter over the park would be great so the park could be used all year round.
Shade an water is all you need really, bins are good.
Lights for night time skating.
Fixing up cracks in concrete.
Shade for summer and wet days.
Need a public toilet with changing space.
Security cameras.
Lights are important for maximum user engagement during winter months. Free car parks for users and parents. Rubbish bins in obvious areas.
Some skateparks have added partial shaded areas over obstacles to allow people to use it during rain. This allows the area to be useful at all times of the year (which is great for us Victorians as the winter here can be very long and grim).
Lights also mean that older people can use the space after they've finished work. In winter it is often too hard to get their in time before it's dark. And in winter your chances are few and far between on the Weekends if its raining.
Kids are doing a great job at building jumps and looking after the area at McClelland Dr in Langwarrin.
Comfortable area for parents to sit so they don’t sit on the skatepark .
A vert ramp!
Lights
Somewhere for young people to congregate and access local council resources
Lights for night skating
Large auditorium to engage in community cultural events such as sharing local creative projects. Music, art, film ect.
