Oaklands Recreation Plaza | Notice of Works | Construction commences April 2018

During the construction period the wooden decked pathway on the western side of the site will be closed for safety as work is carried out (see map below). The skate park and eastern side of the site will remain accessible.

Stage 1 of the Recreation Plaza (skate park) was completed September 2015 and includes elements that allow for skateboards, BMX, scooters and inline skaters and creates a strong interface with Oaklands Road.
