Battle of the Bands - Expression of Interest Form
The 2021 Burra Skate Park upgrade was finally opened on the 30th May 2021 and now includes an extension to the original skate ramp which was designed and created by skate park specialists Grind Projects, based on feedback from local skate and scooter riders in 2018.
The new skate park has new fun box, ledges, curb and blends into the old park.
The site also includes a dirt pump track for bike users of all ages to ride as well as a nature play space which has been developed by nature play specialist “Climbing Tree”.
As a result in 2019 the Council received $232,500 from the State Government through the Open Spaces and Places Grant, which was matched dollar for dollar by the Regional Council of Goyder. AGL Australia also contributed $20,000 through their community fund with an extra $10,000 provided by Goyder YAC for the development of a nature play space.
To create a family friendly place the skate park also includes two shelters, BBQs, water fountains and seating throughout the park. The park also includes a ramp down to the skate park which ensures disabled access.
The Burra Skate Park is a great space for young people to come together to skate, ride, be active, hang out and connect with others. It is also a great outdoor space for children’s parties and a day out for families.
The Burra Skate Park is located on Market Street, BURRA (opposite the Burra Town Hall and Art Gallery) and sits along the banks of the Burra Creek.
The Eudunda Networking Youth Room is a space for young people aged between 14-25 to drop in, hang out, meet new people and take part in free activities within a supported environment.
The room has a variety of facilities and equipment, which includes gaming equipment, Foosball, microwave, desks for after school study, and cans of drink are for sale. We are currently working on connecting Wi-Fi to the room.
The Eudunda Networking Youth Room is open on Fridays from 3.30-10pm. Located on the corner of Bruce and Lloyd Streets, EUDUNDA, it is a short 10 minute walk from the Eudunda Area School.

EUDUNDA SKATE PARK BECOMES A REALITY
As identified in the Goyder Master Plan 2022 - 2037, the local communities’ vision for a safe and inclusive play space for children and young people has become a reality in Eudunda.
Council recognises the need to engage local young people in the future planning for youth spaces and from the outset, the project has been driven by Goyder Youth Advisory Committee (YAC), for the benefit of youth living in Goyder. Concept plans were developed and reviewed by the Goyder YAC and the local community, where valuable feedback and ideas assisted that brought together a design that is unique and multi-faceted. Suitable for all skill levels with multiple opportunities for long runs and plenty of tricks! The design includes a shelter, BBQ, seating, and drink fountain. Elements of blue concrete provide an acknowledgement to mental health and the Eudunda-cowie spring.
Much to the communities’ delight, Trinity Skateparks completed the construction in late 2023. The skate park provides an outdoor space for youth, children and families in the township of Eudunda that supports active and healthy recreation and provides a safe and inclusive space that connects within the recreation hub.

It was a very successful opening with many children and young people attending the skateboard sessions run by Build Up Skateboarding on the day.
Council would like to thank everyone involved with this project including the Goyder YAC members, Baseplate Design and Trinity Skateparks as well as funding provided from the SA Government’s Open Spaces and Places funding program.
