Room 11 of Parkview Primary decided the most important improvement they could make to their suburb, Parklands, was to provide more recreational activities for young people.

After researching public opinion in the community they found a high level of support among children and parents for a skate park and graffiti wall at Adcock Reserve, which adjoins the school. Landscape architect, Simon Fenwick assisted the class to design the park and detailed costings put the budget of the work at $30,000.

Burwood-Pegasus Community Board recommended to proceed with the idea, dependent on funding being available through the Council’s parks unit, which has budgeted to make improvements in Parklands over the next few years.
