The competition, organised by George Wilkinson, was divided into a BMX, skate and scooter section.

“We had a really good turn out. Lots of families and kids came down. We raised $162.50 on top of our $2,000 from the club grant,” he said.

The money is going towards the lower section of the skate park, which has been deteriorating from wear and tear.

“The plan’s being drafted at the moment. We thought it would be done by the end of the year but it’ll most likely be January or February,” Mr Wilkinson said.

Hundreds turned up for the fundraiser, including unexpected participants from out of town, he said.

It’s the first time in years an event of this kids had been held at the skate park and Mr Wilkinson said he was hoping it would help unite the skate park community.

”Everyone is saying we have to have another one. I don’t have any plans yet but we’ll keep it in the book. Maybe this time next year.”
