The Alexandrina region boasts recreational facilities built to suit skaters, BMX riders, scooters and roller skaters. With four diverse facilities from Port Elliot to Strathalbyn, Alexandrina youth and adults have a space for their needs on wheels.
Council opened the new Strathalbyn skate park on April 13, 2014. The park was built by global leaders in skate park design and innovation, Convic, with an overall delivery of a modern and integrated multi-use skate facility catering for skate, BMX and inline user groups. The park also has shaded grassed areas, set off by native landscaping by the Council Parks and Gardens team.
