About 15 skateboarding enthusiasts turned out to a meeting yesterday, led by council's manager social services John Watts, to put forward a potential design for a new skate park that includes a rail, half pipe, quarter bowl, fun box and ramps.

Active campaigner for the restoration of the complex Chris Ah-See teamed with a couple of mates to create the design using a "park builder" on the internet.

"We knew what everyone wanted, we speak to them down at the park all the time and they all have the same view," Mr Ah-See said.

"Our design is a modern version and more suited to skateboarding."

Skateboarders at the meeting seemed keen with the new design and during the next week plan to hit the streets, shops and schools with a petition to rally support before pitching their idea to council.

The design was sparked less than a week after council deemed the current half pipe dangerous and cordoned off the area, and they plan to have it demolished.

The new design also follows more than a month of scrutinising by local skateboarders who say its due for an upgrade to make it safer and more appealing for users.

Mr Ah-See told the Daily Liberal earlier this week that the whole facility was dangerous and he was disappointed the park hadn't been properly maintained.

Mr Watts said that funding for the new park could be "fairly high", especially if it was concrete, and the ball was now in the skateboarders' court to seek funding options through local services and organisations.

The group will also look at skate parks in other towns, such as Orange, to work out the possible costs involved in the restoration.

Another meeting regarding the skate park upgrade is expected to take place on October 11.

Mr Watts advised council's horticulture services manager Tony George would hopefully attend.
