Local skateboard, scooter and BMX enthusiasts need to get down to BATO Yard Skate Park on Saturday 23 March, as Central Coast Council has proudly partnered with YMCA NSW and Skate Australia to bring the 2019 Skate Park League BATO Yard Competition to the region.

This community-based, grass-root event provides the perfect opportunity for all Coastie skate, scoot and BMX enthusiasts – of all ages and abilities – to compete and be part of Australia’s biggest and most established series of its kind.

Action sports such as skateboarding, scooting and BMX have rapidly risen in popularity in the last few years with the typical age group widening as new generations have more opportunities to ride in safe facilities, and older generations returning to the sport. With skateboarding part of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, this competition presents a great opportunity for young enthusiasts to harness their skill base and progress through a structured national pathway.

Partnering with YMCA NSW and Skate Australia to bring the competition to the Coast demonstrates Council’s commitment to activate sport and recreational areas and promote healthy and active lifestyles for the community.

The Skate Park League BATO Yard Competition is being held on Saturday 23 March, from 11am-4pm, at BATO Yard Skate Park, 460 The Entrance Rd, Bateau Bay.

Heat Times:

• Scooter 11am (14 & Under, 15 & Over)
• BMX 12:30pm (14 & Under, 15 & Over)
• Skate 1:30pm (12 & Under, 16 & Under, Open Male, Open Female)
