A revamped skate park has been unveiled, with features to suit riders of all ages and skill levels.
The upgraded Peregian Beach Skate Park, designed in collaboration with Concrete Skateparks, was opened on November 30.
Noosa mayor Frank Wilkie said local skaters helped shape the layout.
“We listened closely to our local skaters to ensure the design meets their needs while enhancing safety for all users,” he said.
“The new facility features three distinct zones tailored for both beginners and advanced riders, creating a space where everyone can enjoy and develop their skills.
“The revamped facility also retains the existing shade sail and the iconic Norfolk Island pines, as well as improved drainage systems to mitigate coastal impacts.”
The launch event, hosted in partnership with Chiggy Skateboarding, Skateable and Plastic Free Noosa, featured skate lessons, competitions and giveaways.
Local skater Jake Lawrence said was delighted with the facility.
“I’m super excited to have the park back, and it’s better than ever,” he said.
“There are so many cool new things to try and I can’t wait to ride here all the time with my mates and help each other get better.”
The project was funded through the Queensland Government’s South-East Queensland Community Stimulus Program in partnership with Noosa Council.
Minister for Local Government and Water Ann Leahy said the facility would promote healthy, active lifestyles and bring people together.
“This upgraded skate park will be an incredible asset for the Peregian Beach community, providing a safe, inclusive space for riders of all ages to enjoy,” she said.

“It’s more than just a place to skate – it’s a space to connect, stay active, and build friendships.”
Cr Wilkie thanked locals for their patience during construction.
“We appreciate everyone’s understanding throughout the upgrade process and are confident that this new facility will quickly become a favourite spot for families, skateboarders, and scooter riders alike,” he said.
