Submission Overview
Toowoomba Regional Council’s Joseph J Leadbetter Park – Skatepark upgrade transformed an ageing facility into the city’s only dedicated street-style skatepark. With progression features facilitating ongoing learning opportunities and maintaining interest, supported by accessible paths, shade and seating, it’s a welcoming destination for locals and visitors. High-quality concrete, clear sightlines and refuge areas support safe shared use and longer stays. Shaped through community input and specialist partnerships, it integrates with the wider park to build a safer, vibrant place to play.
