Umina❜s New Peninsula Recreation Precinct Includes a Mega Skate Park
It's safe to say that recreational areas don't come much bigger, better or more jam-packed than Umina's Peninsula Recreation Precinct. A whopping $8 million has been spent on the project, which is bursting with sparkling new facilities and amenities.
Completion of the new skate park and BMX track brings the project to a close and puts Umina on the map as a destination for experienced athletes and local families seeking things to do in their community.

New Umina Skate Park
A centrepiece of the project was to bring a new skate park to Umina, and boy, have they delivered. The facility caters to every age and stage, from beginners to intermediate and advanced.
The skate park features roll-ins, flat banks, transitions, ledges, moguls and other features designed to allow younger riders to learn basic skate skills as well as a shallow bowl and a deep bowl, moguls, rails, hubbas, stairs, kickers, and many other features designed to allow the full spectrum of riders on many types of wheels (skateboard, scooter, BMX, inline and roller-skate) to challenge themselves and learn.
Put simply, it's a one-stop shop for an action-packed weekend on the Coast!
A Community Centred Project
The project was incredibly close to locals' hearts, evidenced by so many people getting involved in surveys and community engagement activities.
Bravo to a team effort from the Central Coast—for more information about the Peninsula Recreation Precinct, head to Central Coast Council.

Fantastic new Park at Umina with all the upgraded facilities like the new climbing walls, basketball courts, BMX Track and skate parks for different ages. It would be even better if kids under 5 years old and bike riders were kept off the larger skate bowl and stayed on the BMX or pump tracks that have been purpose built for them. They take over, don't look where they're going and don't care, leave their bikes or scooters just lying on ramps for skaters to try and avoid. And the parents get upset if you dare to politely ask them or thier kids to please be mindful of older skaters so they don't knock them off and get injured by thier kids hitting them. They behave entitled and rude. If thier kids get injuried I will guarantee that they will kick up a huge stink with council and make all sorts of ridiculous demands . In saying that there are some cool and competent young skaters who's parents have taught them the etiquette of sharing space. It's awesome. Suggestion...the Council to enforce some rules by putting up signs that say no bikes or toddlers with scooters or balance bikes permitted on the skate bowl. My son has a fractured wrist, damaged kneecaps and abrasion burns from a young child knocking into him and it was impossible for my son to avoid him. After an afternoon in emergency, in a great deal of pain, he's now bandaged up in splints. Parents of young kids need to at least supervise young kids properly or even better use the track that was built for them instead of endangering others. Someone is going to be critically hurt, and it just might be a young kid and the park shut down because of thier arrogance. Thanks!!!
